Finally stop the daily battles and feel calm, confident, and connected with your child.
Parent coaching helps families stop power struggles, set screen-time limits, and raise respectful, resilient kids without constant yelling or stress.
I work with parents of spirited children to create calm routines, clear boundaries, and lasting confidence through personalized coaching, proven strategies, and ongoing support that fits your family.
You’ve read the books, watched the reels, maybe even sat on the therapist’s couch. You’re already emotionally attuned. But the advice out there? It’s not working.
Instead of calm, you’re stuck in cycles of yelling, punishing, or giving in.
👈 Watch the video to hear what no one else is telling you—and what actually works for strong-willed kids.
A strategy that:
– Gets to the root of the misbehavior
– Builds respect without power struggles
– Brings more calm into your home
– And actually teaches resilience so your child doesn’t melt down every time they hear “no”
This isn’t about perfect kids. It’s about raising real humans who respect boundaries, bounce back from “no,” and thrive at home.
Think of me like a personal trainer for your parenting patterns, not your biceps.
You’re already a loving, emotionally connected parent.
You just want your home to feel calmer and for your decisions to actually stick.
If you’re stuck in power struggles, second-guessing yourself, or swinging between holding a boundary and caving just to keep the peace...
it’s not that you’re “too soft.”
It’s the strategy that needs to change.
As your parenting coach, I help you:
You don’t need more information.
You need a plan that works for your real life with support and accountability as you make it stick.

"My exceptionally gifted daughter struggled with motivation and friendships. Susan provides the support and tools I need to help my daughter succeed in school and develop empathy with her peers."

“Thank you—your technique appears to have worked, and on the very first night, no less. We had one evening of tantrumming for about 45 minutes, and ever since then, it's been MUCH more manageable. Is there negotiating? Yes. There is a lot of "mommy staaaayyyyyy!" But the expectation of a prize seems to be gone. THANK YOU so much for your help. You really helped my family dig ourselves out of the prize hole!”

“I will send Susan many “SOS” emails or text messages when my daughter is causing a ruckus at home or at school. Susan will respond and talk me off the ledge before I behead said child. She does not nickel and dime you with charges for these morsels of advice she hands out on the fly-she charges very reasonably. If anything I think she should charge me more for having to repeat herself to me all the time! ”

This guide will help you:
✔️ Set boundaries with confidence
✔️ Respond (not react) when misbehavior shows up
✔️ Create more calm—and way less conflict
Picture this: You’re out with friends or at a family dinner and your child is calm.
You are no longer not scanning the room for judgment or bracing for the next meltdown.
You’re actually enjoying being a parent and not just surviving it.
That bond even lasts through the teenage years because connection plus boundaries create security that doesn’t fade with hormones or hard days.
This isn’t wishful thinking.
It’s what happens when you shift from managing behavior to modeling leadership
And that’s exactly what I teach.
You’ll know exactly how to talk to your child so they actually listen without yelling, overexplaining, or giving in.
You’ll be the clear, calm leader in your home; setting boundaries that stick while still honoring your child’s unique spirit.
Even when your child misbehaves, they’ll still feel safe, seen, and loved. Because discipline and love can go hand in hand.
I know what it feels like to be at the end of your rope.
To yell, then feel guilty.
To try being gentle, only to get ignored.
To swing between too soft and too harsh, hoping something will work.
I was raised by a single mom who did her best, but our home was filled with tension, fear, and confusion.
I swore I’d parent differently.
But when I had my own strong-minded child, the old patterns came right back.
Yelling. Punishing. Trying to control. None of it worked.
And when I saw the fear in my child’s eyes... I broke.
Not respect. Fear.
I knew something had to change
But not just for my child but for me too.
As an educator, I took what I knew about child development and behavior and built something that worked in real life
not just theory.
That became my Six Steps Method.
It helped me:
✅ Stay calm and lead with confidence
✅ Set boundaries without yelling or over-explaining
✅ Build a strong relationship with my child that was based on trust and respect
Was it always easy? No.
Did I dream of checking into a hotel just to sleep and be left alone? Sometimes.
But here's the thing, I found a way through and now I help other parents do the same.
You don’t need more guilt.
You don’t need more guesswork.
You need a plan that actually fits your life - and your child’s temperament.
