David Loyst, MSc.
David has been studying and teaching about parenting for over 30 years as a Speech Language Pathologist and Autism Consultant and has been practicing with his own children for more than 25 years. Mr. Loyst noticed that the common behaviourist parenting techniques of consequences and time-outs (that he initially advocated!!) did not work for the children he worked with or for his family. Instead they seemed to cause an increase in anxiety and stress, and a breaking down of relationships, ultimately leading to a shutting down of their social/emotional development. These observations led Mr. Loyst to the study of developmental attachment parenting and the implications for educational environments.
Mr. Loyst also noticed that he didn’t always implement what he intended. He would catch himself doing or saying something to his children, his partner, or his employees that he knew was not right. He was inspired by his own challenges to learn about the workings of the mind and how to care for himself so that he could truly lead and care for his family and business. Over the past 2 decades, David has become a senior team member of the Work of Gila Golub and supported hundreds of clients to transform their personal challenges to create peaceful, loving relationships with their families and effortless abundance in their careers.
Mr. Loyst is the Co-Director of The North Star Developmental Clinic alongside Dr Vanessa Lapointe.
