Parenting Coach. Educator. Mom.

A steady guide for calm, confident parenting

Parenting doesn’t need to feel like a day-long negotiation.

If you’re tired of explaining, managing emotions (theirs and yours), or feeling like you’re constantly reacting, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong.

It’s usually because you’re doing too much — and doing it alone.

Most parents I work with are thoughtful, well-read, and deeply invested in doing right by their kids.
They’ve tried the scripts.
They’ve followed the experts.
They’ve absorbed more parenting advice than they ever wanted to.

And yet — at home — things still feel loud, emotional, and unpredictable.

That’s not a failure of effort.
It’s a lack of structure and clarity.

You don’t need more tips.
You need a plan that fits your real life — and a coach who understands the difference between parenting theory and day-to-day parenting.

That’s where I come in.

Hi, I’m Susan Morley.

I’m a certified parenting coach, early childhood educator, and mom of two (including one very strong-willed child).

I’ve helped hundreds of families across the U.S. move out of reactive parenting patterns and into calmer, more confident leadership at home.

My work focuses on:

  • reducing power struggles

  • helping parents talk less so kids listen

  • setting boundaries that stick

  • and supporting parents as they practice new ways of leading

Whether you’re dealing with tantrums, screen-time battles, sibling conflict, bedtime chaos, or ongoing backtalk, my role is to help you slow things down, clarify your approach, and lead with confidence without guilt or overcorrection.

Why My Approach Works

My work is practical, structured, and tailored to your family.

I don’t use one-size-fits-all advice or internet-perfect parenting ideals.
Instead, I help parents develop a clear plan based on:

  • their values

  • their child’s temperament

  • and what’s actually happening at home

Through private coaching, real-time support, and clear guidance, parents learn how to:

  • respond calmly — even when emotions are high

  • set firm boundaries without over-explaining

  • stop second-guessing their decisions

  • maintain connection and authority

This isn’t about being calm all the time.
It’s about being clear most of the time.

Experience That Grounds the Work

I’ve supported families navigating a wide range of challenges — from early childhood behavior and school transitions to co-parenting dynamics and teen substance-use concerns.

I’ve worked:

  • in classrooms

  • in family homes

  • in treatment-adjacent environments

  • and alongside therapists and other professionals

Most importantly, I understand the lived experience of parenting a strong-willed child — and the relief that comes when leadership replaces reactivity.

What I Believe

 

You don’t have to choose between being loving and being respected.

Discipline is about teaching and structure not punishment.

Strong-willed kids need calm leadership, not constant negotiation.

Parents don’t need to be perfect they need clarity and support.
