Parents' opinions who have recently followed The Hanen® Parent Program ‘It takes two to talk’:
"Marjolein, heeft ons talloze inzichten gegeven in de communicatie met ons kind. Haar feedback was altijd terecht en opbouwend en heeft ons doen inzien dat met de juiste behandeling er veel meer uit ons kind te halen is. Ook wanneer we vastliepen stond Marjolein klaar om met ons het hele communicatieproces te doorlopen en ons verder op weg te helpen. De cursus hebben we dan ook als nuttig ervaren".
"We are very pleased and satisfied with Marjolein's professional approach. She was always around to support us throughout the Hanen programme with constant check-ins, listening to each detail we shared with patience, giving tips/advice and helping us achieve our aimed goals. Thank you so much for all the support, advice and help".
"Marjolein is een professional met veel kennis en ervaring. Ze heeft echt een passie voor haar vak en een enorme betrokkenheid bij de kinderen (en ouders). Je voelt je bij haar veilig en echt begrepen, plus je leert handvatten om de communicatie met je kind te verbeteren. Wat me het meest is bijgebleven; volg je kind in spel (ook als iets niet gaat zoals het hoort of bedoeld is), kom op ooghoogte en zorg dat je oogcontact maakt, stel geen vragen maar benoem vooral veel (vergeet ook niet de werkwoorden en beschrijvende woorden!), herhaal en breidt korte zinnen die je kind zegt uit, maak je communicatie interessant door gek te doen of grapjes te maken (daar is Marjolein super goed in en ook daar heb ik veel van geleerd!). Kortom, ik ben heel blij dat ik de Hanen bij haar gevolgd heb en kan dit iedereen van harte aanbevelen.
"Het Hanen programma mogen volgen samen met mijn partner. Een cursus waar je veel aan hebt plus een eyeopener. Bij de cursus heb je de groepssessies en een paar individuele sessies. Deze afwisseling is heel fijn, met andere ouders sparren is altijd een goed idee. De sessies met je kindje erbij zijn heel leerzaam. Zelf dacht ik het best goed te doen, maar dan blijkt dat je met kleine aanpassingen het nog zoveel beter kan doen. Marjolein brengt dit totaal niet betweterig, echt als tips en tricks. Marjolein is een hele lieve fijne vrouw. Wij en onze dochter hebben haar nog altijd in ons hart. Na de cursus zal je als een pro communiceren met je kind".
"Met veel plezier hebben wij deelgenomen aan het Hanen programma. Er was gelijk een klik met logopediste Marjolein. Ons vertrouwen in haar bleek meer dan terecht. Wij leerden patronen herkennen waar wij ons niet van bewust waren. Met kleine veranderingen boekten we al gauw restultaat. Het 'moeten' verdween naar de achtergrond en al spelenderwijs ontdekten wij dat ons mannetje juist heel communicatief bleek te zijn. Onze peuter van inmiddels 3,5 jaar raakt steeds meer aan het praten. De cursus en in het bijzonder Marjolein haar bijdrage is heel waardevol geweest".
"We joined the Hanen program during lockdown times. So most of our meetings and instructions happened online. However, Marjolein made everything for the sessions to be as helpful as possible and allowed everyone to share their thoughts. We also really liked the opportunity to speak to other people with similar situations in their lives. We still keep in contact with the other participants after the program ended".
"It was a pleasure to have Marjolein as our tutor for the Hanen program. We could immediately see the development of our child after we started the progam. Marjolein has precious tips and looked at our family specifities closely at her homevisits, which I think was very helpful. Marjolein also went the extra mile by being approachable and offering very gentle guidance whenever we had questions. I highly recommend other parents to take this program with her".
"Ik heb met veel plezier het Hanen Ouderprogramma gevolgd voor mijn 2,5- jarige zoon. Het programma biedt inzicht en praktische handvatten waarmee je meteen aan de slag kunt. De mogelijkheid om het programma online te volgen vond ik erg prettig. Ik kan Marjolein en het programma van harte aanbevelen om de spraak- en taalontwikkeling van uw kind te stimuleren".
"I would recommend the Hanen program to all parents who would like to help their kids start talking and who would like to deal with their own anxiety. Marjolein is a professional and gave us many useful recommendations during home visits. The program itself was easy to follow/ understand but still productive. Now I feel better equipped with different tools wich can stimulate my kid to talk more".

It was great to have Marjolein as my tutor for the Hanen program. The program and tips were very helpful. Whenever I had questions, She always answered. I highly recommend other parents to take this program.
I recently completed the Hanen More Than Words program with Marjolien, and she far exceeded my expectations. Initially, we were hesitant—having just relocated to the Netherlands last year—but her support throughout the course, and even beyond it, gave us the strength and reassurance we needed during a challenging transition.
Marjolien not only helped us navigate language barriers, but she also consistently advocated for us without hesitation. The course was delivered in a supportive, social environment where we felt safe to speak openly and learn from the experiences of other parents. This shared space made a real difference, helping us feel less alone and more empowered.
Each session covered thoughtful, manageable topics that made it easier to focus on progress without putting pressure on our child. It encouraged us to make learning fun, which has had a remarkable impact—our daughter has made significant strides, and we are incredibly grateful for this opportunity.
Following the Hanen Program at Pamoja was a truly empowering experience. The coach created a safe and supportive environment where I felt heard and understood. Her guidance helped me better connect with my child and gave me practical tools I could apply at home right away. The sessions were well-structured, insightful, and always adapted to our specific situation.
I especially appreciated the focus on everyday interactions—simple moments that now feel more meaningful thanks to what I’ve learned. I highly recommend this program to other parents who want to strengthen communication and connection with their child in a natural, positive way.
Thank you for walking this journey with us!
My husband and I recently completed the Hanen Programme with Marjolein. The experience was insightful and empowering. As parents, we always want to support our child’s communication development, and this program gave us the tools, confidence, and understanding to do just that. The online sessions were well organised, interactive and easy to follow. It was comforting to share the journey with other parents and to learn from each other’s experiences. The home visits were helpful, informative and truly personalised. Thank you. We highly recommend the programme with Marjolein.
My husband and I did the Hanen program online with Marjolein. It was a wonderful, informative experience. We learned many skills to help our son with his language development and many tools to assist us with being more patient, understanding parents. It also was invaluable to listen to other parent’s experiences and listen to many shared stories. It made us feel less alone in this journey. The home visits were comfortable and informative. The online courses equally enriching. Thank you. We highly recommend.
We attended the Hanen online Program as advised by GGD . Marjolein has been so supportive and responsive throughout the program. She makes sure to understand what are the issues and steps in with her experiences to develop and guide the parents to be more confident with the ways to tackle their issues and be more comfortable. Home visits are definitely much helpful as there are much more observations and feels bond to discuss the improvements and good things. I would definitely recommend the program. Thanks
We followed the program with Marjolein. We faced language and communication challenges with our son while also being busy working parents will minimum time to support him. During the program, while applying the learnings we saw great improvements from our 2 years old, without increasing the amount of time we would dedicate to it. All the tools and insights she gave us were easy to implement and on point to boost the connections with our child. It has been a positive journey on which Marjolein guided us each step. I would recommend this to everyone who is struggling with their child language development.
Kort geleden het programma met Marjolein afgerond. Zeer tevreden met de behaalde resultaten ondanks dat onze zoon net voor de start van dit programma een grote inhaalslag had gemaakt. Goede ondersteuning en begeleiding voor kinderen die nog maar een aantal woordjes kunnen spreken maar ook die wat verder zijn in hun spraakontwikkeling. Met een goede oppas is het Hanen programma goed te doen. Marjolein is een gedreven persoon met een positieve en gezellige instelling. Vooral de thuisbezoeken zijn beneficial. Zeker aan te raden!
Before starting the program, I was in a constant state of anxiety, not knowing how I could help my son communicate better and where to look for help. I must admit that at first I was skeptical about Hanen program, but my opinion changed dramatically after the first home visit. Marjolein explained openly and honestly what would happen at the program and what we could expect from it. She gave us lots of advice and suggestions on how we could apply techniques from the program specifically for our child. Marjolein is a wonderful specialist, professional, and just a very caring person with a genuine desire to help parents and children.
At the end of the program, I am no longer so anxious, I am more patient, I understand my son's interests better, and he is showing good progress in communication.
The hanen program came at a time when we were at a loss and very anxious about the future of our boy. I am glad to say after being taken through the program by Marjorline we feel more hopeful and less anxious. I would recommend the program to any parent in the same situation as us. We are now better equipped to communicate with our child .
