About me?
I’m a mom of four (including triplets), military wife, entrepreneur, author, and reformed yeller who learned the hard way repeating yourself louder is not a parenting strategy.
For more than 25 years, I’ve studied what actually works in real homes and turned it into a simple process parents can use when everyone is tired, emotions are high and dinner is burning.

Parenting Success Stories
“Sue has provided me with many sage pieces of advice about parenting. Most important, she’s taught me how to keep the lines of communication open with my kids. She offers age-appropriate advice on ways to get my kids to talk to me and has taught me tricks on just how to respond so they keep talking to me. She’s made a huge difference in my parenting style.”
“I wish I could keep Sue in my back pocket to always have her with me! Her insights and advice have helped me every time I’ve not known what to do with my kids. Her ideas are imaginative, real, and they work. With my three kids spread out in age, she has always had a great understanding of every age and phase. She has feedback no one else will tell you and delivers it in a most colourful, blunt, and honest way.”
“Sue has a knack for seeing through details and cutting to the heart of the matter with clarity and humor. She says what I need to hear, not mincing words, and I feel the truth of her insights in my heart. Her perspective and wisdom have helped my journey as a parent and deepened the relationship with my children, which is ultimately the most valuable asset of all.”
