I can’t remember how I first heard of Alyson Schafer, but as soon as I did, I went out and purchased her books. \u00a0While I was super eager and ready to get some great parenting advice, I was also \u00a0a busy mom of a toddler and a newborn with little time to read. \u00a0Luckily, a short time after picking up Alyson’s books she was \u00a0was giving a speaking engagement at a local school. \u00a0I was so excited and made the time to attend her session. \u00a0The session was fantastic. I don’t think I was able to write fast enough to take down all of the key information. \u00a0Besides jotting down\u00a0all of her amazing and helpful advice, I found Alyson to be very relatable. \u00a0Her examples and speaking style were humorous and helpful. \u00a0It was also great to be able to ask Alyson specific questions about our own family situations. I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my husband John about everything I learned.<\/span><\/p>\n John\u00a0was instantly hooked and he opened up one of Alyson Schafer’s books that night and read it until the wee hours of the morning. \u00a0A few months later, my husband and I both attended another one of Alyson’s speaking engagement. \u00a0It was great reinforcement for what we had read. \u00a0To this day, we follow (as best as we can) her parenting advice and techniques and we often find ourselves saying “WWASD” (“What would Alyson Schafer do?”) to help us figure out how we should approach specific scenarios with our kids.<\/span><\/p>\n Here’s the thing… parenting is hard and it doesn’t come with a manual. Rather than resorting to yelling or fighting when your kids are being tough, Alyson’s approach teaches you a new way to empower your kids, making them feel important and respected, \u00a0allowing you to avoid or limit misbehaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n I love Alyson’s methods and approach to parenting. She teaches parents how to\u00a0effectively raise children who are caring, co-operative and responsible. I always recommend her to other parents who seek parenting advice. So if you’re like me, and rather learn by listening and participating instead of just reading, then you need to attend Alyson’s upcoming two-day boot camp session in Toronto, November 1st and 2nd.<\/span><\/p>\n
