"Lisa Stroyan’s insightful and innovative approaches to parenting always struck me on parenting-related email-lists we had in common. I was collecting parenting wisdom for a book, and I started a file of her wonderful parenting examples. She is so clear about her own growth edges and her son's needs. I find her anecdotes quite personally inspiring, and I am thrilled to have her voice in my book. Her interactions with parents on the email lists are the model of honest and respectful communication. She clarifies and hones in on what the parent is needing with her exceptional insight, empathy, and brainstorming. I think of Lisa Stroyan as one of the most gifted and appropriate parenting resources available today." — Hilary Flower, author of Adventures in Tandem Nursing and Gentle Discipline. What People Are Saying about Lisa’s Workshops “Lisa’s parenting workshop is excellent. The type of discipline promoted in the workshop is based on being gentle and sensitive to your children’s needs, and also being playful about it.” “Lisa is very well-read; she knows about many different parenting methods and takes the best of each while discarding whatever doesn’t match her principles. She is effective at passing on this information, and she enjoys doing so. Most of the time, it isn’t Lisa talking, but just all of us parents sharing our challenges, inspirations and insights. And that is how it should be. “ “The reason I love this workshop so much is because when I’m there I can hear my heart talking to me loud and clear. The answers we need lie within each one of us. I’m not there to hear some expert pontificate on her opinion of how parenting is to be done. And Lisa understands this. She believes in the innate knowledge each parent possesses and wants to help them tune into it. This is what makes her special, what makes her stand out from the many other voices on parenting clamoring for our attention.” —Fernanda “I really like how the workshop is not just a lecture. It is an explanation of a parenting concept with examples of how to employ it. And it moves fast enough that you don't have time to get bored but not so fast that you are missing the point. ...Many of these concepts carry over into adult life."—Shawn “This was a fabulous workshop with a good balance of hands on activities, discussion, and information resources. We both enjoyed it!” “This workshop helps you have a better relationship with your child and helps you both behave better! I’m more conscious of the choices I make when parenting, and I like more of the choices I make.” What People Are Saying about Lisa’s Phone Support and Coaching “Our coaching was very helpful! I tend to jump from topic to topic and you did a good job of keeping me focused. I came away much calmer and with a plan, as well as several backups that I have been able to fall back on.” “The day-to-day examples were very helpful, as were the ways to look at my child differently. Tying things into OUR lives was important.” “Lisa’s responses are warm, balanced and thoughtful. She is someone who is willing to listen until she completely understands my point of view, and then respond in an empathic, nonjudgmental fashion. I wind up feeling understood and capable of making change at the same time.” “Lisa, you are a skilled (and brilliant:-) facilitator. You have so many gifts to contribute. Congratulations for taking so many risks and for all the work you have done. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your "Lisa has been an invaluable positive influence in my life in parenting my two children. Not only has she been empathic to my personal experience as a mother, but she has helped me create a positive vision for parenting, and implement an empathic approach to my loved ones. She is very smart and has so much talent. Thank you Lisa to your commitment to me and my family!!" — Leigh |
