What parents say about Raising Able workshops & coaching
“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.
“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.” DF, Westford, Mass.
"I like the immediate suggestions I can use." DM, Taunton, Mass. Moms' Club
"Susan is well-informed and funny. I liked her approach to the material. The humor and core points mentioned were good to hear." JG, Winchester, Mass.
"Learning to encourage, let go and hold family meetings are tools I'll take home and use." EH, Winchester, Mass.
“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.
“Susan's positive parenting plan with family meetings and chores takes the burden off my doing everything around the house. Her strategies have helped more than experts in ivory towers." Sarah Doolittle, Hubbardston Mass.
