- Great job. You had everyone’s attention and we learned a lot and had some of our thoughts reconfirmed.
- Just wanted to say a big thank you for your wonderful seminar. You had so much information to give us I’m sure you could have easily split it over a couple of nights! You managed to keep everyone’s interest with your engaging manner, straight talking and humor, well worth attending.
- Best comedy night ever! But also really good. My husband said it was both terrifying and empowering.
- Merilyn knows what she is talking about and who she is talking to. With candour, wit and sensitivity she provided my partner and I with valuable tools and resources to talk with our children about this very important part of their mental, physical and social health.
- Thanks for all of the insightful and well researched information you presented.
- I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your presentation. It was obvious that you had done a lot of work to prepare a presentation that was tailored to what we parents were wondering about, and that attention to ‘us’ made all the difference, I think. Your experience at doing this was also obvious, with your many stories that backed up the ‘theory’ and ‘stats’ you were sharing.
- Overall, this was an evening well spent.
- Excellent talk Merilyn. My husband gives and attends many presentations, was dragged along reluctantly this evening and is rarely impressed, and he thought you were fabulous (as did I and everyone else I spoke to afterwards). I also like the idea of a parent child seminar as it gives another avenue for us to talk to our kids about these issues.
- I just wanted to say that the presentation last night was outstanding! Not only in content and delivery but the way you deftly handled the trickier questions at the end to bring out the different views and approaches. I was so encouraged to see the groundswell of parents adopting the defer until 18 and after school has finished approach.
- Thank you for putting yourself out there – I am sure it gets challenging at times!
- Great talk last night – thoroughly interesting and superbly delivered. Give me a toddler any day!
