“Very helpful. I think I will really use these techniques.”
“Thank you, Beth! I really enjoyed your talk and feel that you have given me tools that I can utilize and implement in the home.”
“Your story about your mother and your siblings moved me in a way I haven’t been moved in a very long time. I thought about how your mother had the loving ability to make you and your siblings feel that you were all her favorite. My mother is like that… I was moved by the wonderful truth that people are in the world like your mother and yourself, who extend love to others and make them feel special… Thanks for sharing your heart. It transformed me.”

“Great thanks for the interesting talk and thoughtful answers. I really appreciate your balanced approach – the last speaker we had on behavior was a bit to harsh/punitive and then we had a meeting watching Alfie Kohn speak via DVD ‐ two terribly opposite approaches, neither “just right” for my family. You actually gave information and anecdotes I can relate to and implement easily.”

“I saw Beth Proudfoot in action at a Lyceum meeting this month and was impressed by her workshop: standing up to bullies. She uses humor and warmth to draw the children out of their shells and has them eagerly contributing their experiences and sharing stories. Beth encourages participants to demonstrate strong body language and decisive actions. Beth’s ability to communicate her wisdom to children adn adults alike is excellent. She has a comprehensive grasp of her subject and an ability to be succinct and entertaining at the same time.”

“Beth Proudfoot is a voice of sanity in the confusing world of parenting. As a professional counselor and a mother, she brings years of experience to her talks, and she backs up her ideas and theories with practical, proven advice. Her sense of humor makes her CD’s a pleasure to listen to, and, more importantly, reminds us all that we’re not alone out there.”

“Thank you! for coming all the way to our little corner of the world to do your presentation. The comments the next day would make your ears burn! Everyone really enjoyed listening to you and appreciated what you have to say. One mom said she started using one of your suggestions as soon as she got home and that morning and she said, “It WORKS!” Another mom had already started listening to your CD so she wouldn’t forget.”
— Peggy Moore, Director, Summerville Parent Nursery School
