A user-friendly parenting class  that comes to you, providing the structure, support and inspiration that will help you create  positive, lasting changes in your parenting life!

I adore teaching--my first career-- which is why I so enjoy speaking to groups of parents at schools and churches, but after a presentation I'm often invited to come home to live with dozens of families so I can help them apply my parenting approach to their daily lives and...well, I kind of like living in my own house. I love working with people privately, but unfortunately, many people can't afford private coaching. Still, I'm passionate about helping parents forge deeper connections with their children and teens, awakening their kids' natural instincts to cooperate, and launching them toward a happy, successful adulthood.

So I'm thrilled to have found what may be a wonderful avenue for sharing what I've come to learn about raising great kids in way that's affordable, realistic and effective. On March 1st, I am going to be offering my second round of the 30 day Parenting Without Power Struggles interactive, Internet-based class.

The course consists of very short emails sent to you each morning with an assignment, challenge, web link, video instruction, task and/or invitation to a group phone call to talk about parenting challenges and progress. In less than 15 minutes a day (you pick the time best for you, or skip days and catch up as soon as you can), you'll be provided with the support and structure to make real, significant and lasting changes towards a more satisfying, enjoyable relationship with your children or teens.

You'll learn how to:

· Stop resorting to bribes or threats to get kids to cooperate
· Learn how to motivate your children and teens to open up and look to you (not peers) for guidance and support
· Avoid power struggles, drama and meltdowns
·Restore peace, love, connection and sanity to the household
· Discover how to be confident, calm Captain of the Ship in your child's life, even when kids push your buttons
· Develop deep roots of attachment with your child or teen

Here are some comments from current class participants:
 
"I just wanted to say this class is phenomenal... The explanations you give are like having a road map instead me wandering around  confused, stressed and trying to figure out the best way to go with a roller coaster of hits and misses.  I am so grateful."
 
"If you are still on the fence of signing up for next months class-DONT it is soooo worth it. I have gotten more out of this class than I ever imagined....."
 

"I'm getting so much value from the class and have been keeping my eye on "the parenting ball" with more ease and joy which is what I wanted from the class. I'm seeing how I get triggered, and as a result have less "personal" attachment to how my opinions and beliefs need to run the show. I'm definately having more freedom to be with my daughter and it's only the first week! Yay!"

"We have had a long-standing challenge at bedtime with my son.  It's a long, drawn out process and has been since he was a baby...[Today's lesson] definitely put me in a much calmer place and I was able to hold him a bit, empathize with him about why going to sleep on your own is tough, and he totally relaxed, laid back down and let me exit the room gracefully.  He was asleep in about five minutes"  

"Susan, thank you so much for your book and the parenting class, this is really a turning point in my life as a mother and in my life in general..."
 
"My daughter, sensing a change in my approach to her (much calmer, more encouraging, and firm, strong, solid) decides to have a power struggle with me over going to sleep on time. She starts to push all of my triggers -- "5 more minutes!" " screaming and throwing things, refusing to get into bed, etc. I stayed completely calm and it worked! The power struggle ended soon after it started and she apologized for making it so difficult...Thanks so much! This is really working!"

As I said in last month's announcement, when I described this idea to a parent to get an estimate on what to charge, she figured that a month long course involving daily emails, video support, and several group consults with me would be a bargain at around $350.00   When I told her I was wanting to charge $49.00 her mouth fell open. But I want my work to be available to as many parents as possible, from every part of the world. While I know $49.00 is still more than the cost of a cup of coffee, I also know the value of what I am offering. The price may go up, but for now, it's $49.00.

I hope you'll consider joining the class. Here's the link to register. Please feel free to share this information with friends. The first official class email will come on Monday, March 1st with your first assignment. Our first group teleclass will be on Wednesday, March 3rd. The calls will be recorded if you can't participate live.

With your feedback and my heartfelt commitment, a monthly interactive parenting class based on the ideas in Parenting Without Power Struggles just might transform the lives of millions of people around the world.
