What people say about
Susan’s Positive Parenting Plan
“I took Susan’s parenting class in desperation when my sons were 7 and 5 years old. My youngest acted out all the time and was rude and uncooperative. The class taught me to set limits and stick to them, disengage from power struggles and establish family meeting times so we all could express ourselves. Learning
Susan’s positive parenting plan helped our family to get along better, respect each other more, and enjoy family life. Today my sons are happy, independent adults whose company my husband and I enjoy. They mean it when they tell us they’re glad about the way they were raised.”
Denali Delmar, Westford, Mass.
“Susan’s workshops showed our family the value of family meetings. All six of us gathered every Sunday night for as long as an hour to talk about the highs and lows of our week, plan dinner menus, divide up chores, and get to know each other better. Even the youngest had chores that her older siblings taught her how to do. The meetings gave our family a regular time to slow down and connect.”
Barbara Caldwell-Miller, Littleton, Mass.
What people say about
Susan’s Positive Parenting Plan
“Susan’s positive parenting plan reminded me to take better care of myself and my marriage. I climbed out my funk, and our family is stronger. She taught me to set kind and firm limits with the children. Susan’s down-to-earth advice makes my days easier. I have more energy to welcome our third child into the world.”
Bernadett Campbell, Stoneham, Mass.
“When my 2-year-old refused to stay in bed at night I lost sleep and worried about his safety. Reasoning, bribery and being very stern failed. Nothing worked until Susan gave me ‘permission’ to close the door.”
D.F., Westford, Mass.
“When Susan invited us to bring unfinished craft projects to class to practice encouraging each other for our efforts, it showed me the importance of not only encouraging our children, but of self-encouragement.
Learning how to encourage has given me courage to try new things and be a lifelong learner.”
K.S, Westford, Mass.
