We first met Dr. Stiernberg as a mother to one of our patients, but we are now pleased to tap into her long experience and expertise as an educator and parent coach. She has developed classes for parents of all ages to help you develop a deeper and richer parenting relationship with your child, as you seek to develop them as a whole child. She provides individual parent coaching sessions as well as group education sessions to provide you with the information you need to help navigate the … [Read more...]

Dear Paula, Thank you so much for leading my staff yesterday.  Several teachers have taken time to tell me how they were motivated and how they will use the new information with preschoolers in their class.  I call that a success!  I really enjoyed meeting you and listening to how you casually incorporate spiritual training into every part of their day.  It would be my goal that each teacher would grow in this area.  It is a skill that one must choose to develop. I have looked … [Read more...]

Dr. Stiernberg gave an excellent presentation to our staff on Children and Spirituality.  The presentation was stimulating and professional.  She shared relevant anecdotes and practical information that our teachers could use in the classroom right away.  She really got them thinking and we had a follow up discussion at our next staff meeting.  I would highly recommend Dr. Stiernberg's trainings.

I came away from the class not only rejuvenated about being a blessed parent, but also just so much more in love with my child and his … [Read more...]

Dr. Stiernberg, I attended your workshop on Taming Tempers back in April. I'm the psychologist who was there, if that helps you remember. I wanted to thank you so much for all of the info you gave us that day. It has helped tremendously! Ella has been doing much better- I think what's helped the most is that when she starts to get grumpy and looks like she's about to throw a tantrum that we tell her "we love you, and when you're ready to talk about it calmly, you come and get us, we'll be … [Read more...]

Hi Dr. Paula, Thank you so very much for your time and advice with Jack.  We have only changed his type of quiet time so far, and we have had him repeat the next step once it is coming.  "Jack we are leaving in 5 minutes."  When are we leaving?  "Mommy, we are leaving in 5 minutes, etc." because we have had family in town since our meeting.  So, we haven't even introduced the 3 strikes, etc. or relaxation techniques. However, he is a completely changed little boy!  I can hardly … [Read more...]
