I live in Ottawa. Are you planning on on giving eiher a talk or a parenting boot camp in Ottawa?

Joanna October 13, 2011 at 5:50 pm

Hi,

I couldn’t find your education/ training anywhere on your website. My apologies if I missed it. Thanks.

Alyson Schafer October 16, 2011 at 5:26 am

I am a psychotherapist. You can read about me and my work under About Alyson on the main menu.

Alisa October 16, 2011 at 4:49 am

Hi, I am also in Ottawa and would love to attend a parenting boot camp here. Are there any plans for one?
Thanks, Alisa

Alyson Schafer October 16, 2011 at 5:24 am

Hi Alisa – Thanks for your interest. I am hoping to bring a Parenting Bootcamp to Ottawa in the winter / spring! Keep posted!

stacy November 2, 2011 at 1:20 pm

Hello Alyson,

I live in Fredericton, NB and I was wondering if you would ever consider bringing your knowledge to the military families? I know many families that would benefit from your expertise. Or is there a calendar of events for the new year coming up?

Thank you, Stacy

Alyson Schafer December 5, 2011 at 10:03 pm

Hello Stacy,
I have a fellow parent educator that ONLY works with military families. It is a bit of a unique situation and I am sure you could teach me a lot about that. I am only planning talks in Van, Calgary, Ottawa and Toronto this year. Wish I could be of more help! Gotta get my tele-seminars going!!!
Alyson

sarah November 9, 2011 at 12:46 pm

Any thoughts on bringing a bootcamp to Victoria or Vancouver?
Thanks,
Sarah

Alyson Schafer November 9, 2011 at 10:22 pm

YES! I’ll keep you posted. It won’t be til spring or fall 2012. If you sign up for my e-newsletter you’ll be notified.
Thanks for your keen interest.
Alyson

Sandra November 20, 2011 at 2:48 pm

Hi Alyson,

Please come to Vancouver as sooner rather than later LOL! My husband and I could totally use your help. My 4 year old son has become quite defiant and has started to not listen both at home and daycare. I’m at my wits end!

Sandra

Alyson Schafer December 5, 2011 at 10:01 pm

Yes! I will be in Vancouver in 2012. I have not yet set dates, but stay posted!!!
Alyson

Debbie Koziel December 5, 2011 at 8:32 pm

Hi Alison, do you know when your next parenting boot camp will be in Toronto? I am in Halifax but we would travel to TO to attend one of these.!!

Alyson Schafer December 5, 2011 at 10:00 pm

Hello Debbie,

I don’t have dates and locations for 2012 yet. I have had parents fly in from Winnipeg and Washington and they all said it was still worth the price including travel. I will be doing smaller events in Ottawa in the new year, so sign up for my e-newsletter to get notified of the upcoming offerings. Hope to meet you soon! ~ Alyson

Carrie Weiler February 2, 2012 at 8:34 am

Hi Alyson,

Thank you so much for the great talk at Kew Beach Scool last night! My husbabnd and I really enjoyed it! We tried one of your strategies this morning. The new responsibility was to bring their dishes to the kitchen and put them in the dishwasher at the end of every meal! They were surprisingly receptive to it…my Son (4yrs) even cleared the cereal boxes and wiped the table down! Wow! My husband and I have signed up for your bootcamp and are very excited to learn about more things we can do to help our kids and our sanity!! Looking forward to it!

Cheers,
Carrie
