Speaker Info – Elisabeth Stitt
Author and award-winning parent educator, Elisabeth Stitt is not only a mother herself, in 25 years she taught more than 3000 students.  That means she has seen it all—all kinds of kids, all kinds of parents and all kinds of families.  She believes 100% in an individual’s capacity for growth—whether that is the child learning new skills or the parent learning to be patient.  She is highly creative about finding the solution that will work just right for your family. 

Elisabeth’s book Parenting as a Second Language, came out of Elisabeth’s work coaching families one on one and out of the workshops she leads.  When working with parents, Elisabeth always starts with parents’ own values because she knows that no parent follows advice long enough for it to work if it is not in alignment with their core beliefs.  Each chapter provides exercises for parents to work through their own thinking while touching on general themes like connection, empathy, consistency and consequences. 

Parenting as a Second Language supports parents in taking the long view of parenting. Keeping the big picture in mind helps parents to stay calm in the heat of the moment and to make decisions based on long term goals rather than their children’s short-term demands—or on parents’ doubts and fears.  Chapter by chapter, as parents work through the exercises, they become more self-confident.  They become the deliberate architects of their families, building purposefully moment by moment.
