"Thanks again for your wonderful presentation ("No I Won't and You Can't Make Me." Ending Back Talk For Good).

At the bus stop this morning, one of the attendees said to me, "I found myself screaming at my kids about getting ready and I thought of that timer." And, I, too, started my morning thinking of what you said, "Get the emotion out of the parenting- don't take it personally." So, when I awoke and found Adam already up in his room counting change from his piggy bank, I wished him good morning cheerily and told him I was going to go walk the dog and that I would really appreciate it if he'd be dressed by the time I returned. Then, I asked if he would pick out his clothes or should I? Sure enough, he was dressed when I returned.

Ah.... parenting can go more smoothly with fine tuning. I'm sure everyone left with reminders about how to tweak their verbiage when approaching parenting. I'm so appreciative of your willingness and support! Thank you!"

Susan was a huge gift at a very critical time. A coach helps to cut to the chase with out all the emotional attachment. They can quickly see what we don’t (or choose not to). A coach holds you accountable. If you mess up, well big deal- they are your goals anyway… but if someone is there saying- are you sure about that choice? You said you wanted blank, blank, blank… and can say it in a very nonjudgmental way- wow – it can really help you get on track!

I am very thankful for all Susan has taught me!”

"After 10 sessions with Susan the situation is so much better.

It's been wonderful working with Susan.

The weekday mornings are so much more calm than they were before. The kids are getting themselves out of bed, getting dressed . . .

. . . we are not yelling and screaming."

"Define your values and parent accordingly

Susan taught me, "Define your values and parent accordingly." The competition and comparison among mothers can blind the new mother. People are all unique and there is no formula to good parenting. Be true to yourself and your own unique values. Take time to figure out what these are. After coaching I took a spiritual path and found out that the best way to be true to yourself is through quiet contemplative time. Take time each day to observe your feelings, without judgment, and listen to the voice that is deep inside for direction. You'd be surprised to find how much discipline it takes to stick to it -- taking time out each day for quiet contemplation, but it is important in staying well."
