For more than 25 years, I’ve shown parents how to decode what’s behind their child’s lying, arguing, tantrums, pushback, screen battles, and sibling fights.
Your child’s behavior is communication. Once you understand what it’s really telling you, your response becomes clear. I’ll show you practical ways to get your kids listening, cooperating, and taking responsibility without yelling or losing your authority.
We’re parenting for more than better behavior today.
We’re raising capable adults who trust you, can count on themselves, and still choose to call you when they’re grown.
As a mom of four, including triplets, a military wife, entrepreneur, author, and reformed yeller, I know how quickly family life can become a cycle of repeating, reacting, and regretting.
Repeating yourself louder isn’t a parenting strategy. And the patterns happening in your home right now don’t have to become your family’s story.
Let’s talk about what’s happening, what your child’s behavior may be telling you, and how to begin changing it.
“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.”

Mom of Triplets
“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.”

Mom of 3 Children - 4, 9 & 12
“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.”
