- Feedback from Po Leung Kuk care workers:
'From the workshop given by Nancy, we have learned the importance of healthy attachment - when and how it is formed and the negative impact on children's future emotional and behavioral development if an attachement relationship with the main caregiver is failed to establish. We have tried to utilize the skills suggested by Nancy in our daily care to the chidlren, including eye contact, touch, movement, smile and sugar.'

- Feedback from a foster family, the Harrison's:
'As we were preparing to foster a 6-year-old girl with possible attachment issues, it was suggested that we read Nancy's book, "When Love is Not Enough". My husband and I both read the book and we also discussed with our four children. We prepared our home as Nancy suggested. When our foster daughter arrived, we all immediately applied what we had learned in the book. Our new daughter was strong sitting within two hours - and we never looked back. Through the many challenges, Nancy's book helped us have a positive experience and most importantly, helped begin (and continue) the healing process of our foster daughter's precious heart.'
