Testimonials from Positive Discipline Authors & Colleagues

Dr. Jane Nelsen

“I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a speaker or workshop.”

“My connection with Ruth Buffam was sparked when I first met her at one of my Teaching Parenting the Positive Discipline Way workshops. Since then we’ve become good friends.

Ruth is passionate about Positive Discipline and her workshops and presentations reflect that passion.  Her presentation style is engaging, enthusiastic and fun!  I was very honoured and excited when Ruth took the advanced training necessary to make her the first Certified Positive Discipline Trainer in Canada.  I so appreciate the work that Ruth is doing with Positive Discipline in Canada and I have supported her in developing a Canadian Positive Discipline affiliate website.”
