How to Raise a Strong-Willed Child When You’re a People Pleaser

What Parents Are Saying

WHAT ARE THE ASK MOM PARENTING WORKSHOPS?

What Happens in Each Session

Practical, No-Fluff Parenting Support

Each month focuses on one specific challenge parents face: calming meltdowns, establishing boundaries without guilt, handling backtalk, ending bedtime battles, or getting cooperation without threats.

No theory. No trends. Just what actually works with real kids when you’re already running on empty.

Live Q&A – Your Questions Answered

This is your safe space to ask the questions you’d never post online:

  • “How do I stop losing it when my kid ignores me?”
  • “What do I do when my partner undermines my rules?”
  • “Is it normal that I don’t like my child right now?”

Sue answers directly, without judgment or sugar-coating.

One Strategy You Can Use Tonight

You’ll leave each session with one clear, actionable strategy you can implement immediately. Not a complete parenting overhaul. Just one thing that will make tomorrow easier than today.

Is This For You?

You’ll love the Ask Mom Parenting Workshops if:

Z

You’re exhausted by daily power struggles over homework, screens, chores, and bedtime

Z

You hate how much you yell and lie awake replaying the day’s worst moments in your head

Z

You’ve tried gentle parenting advice and felt like a failure because it didn’t work with your strong-willed kid

Z

You want clear, enforceable boundaries that don’t require you to be “perfect” to work

Z

You’re tired of conflicting parenting advice and need someone to just tell you what actually works

Z

You want practical answers, not vague platitudes

This isn’t for you if:

Q
You’re looking for techniques to “fix” your child’s behavior without changing your own
Q
You want reassurance that permissive parenting or authoritarian control is the answer
Q

You prefer theoretical frameworks over practical, in-the-moment tools

Hi, I’m Sue

A mom of four (yes, including triplets) and parenting strategist who’s spent over 25 years in the trenches with real kids in real chaos.

I don’t do trends. I don’t shame parents. And I definitely don’t believe you need to be calm and gentle 100% of the time to raise good humans.

What I do:

  • Help overwhelmed parents stop yelling and start parenting with repeatable tools that really work
  • Teach a practical, psychology-backed framework supported by strategies that work with toddlers, tweens, and teens
  • Focus on changing the parents’ responses, not fixing the child – because that’s where real transformation happens

Through my Ask Mom Podcast, online courses, and coaching, I’ve helped hundreds of parents move from guilt-driven chaos to grounded leadership.

My approach is the middle ground between harsh authoritarian parenting and permissive, child-led chaos. It’s firm, loving, practical, and real.

Sue + kids - ring around the rosy

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you try to sell me something?
No. These workshops are genuinely free. If we mention a course or coaching, it’s because they’re relevant to a question someone asked – but there’s zero pressure.
What if I’m too embarrassed to ask my question?
You can submit questions anonymously in the chat, or just listen and learn from what other parents ask.
How long are the sessions?
60 minutes. Strategy up front, then open Q&A. Plenty of space to get real answers.
What if I have kids from different ages?
Sue’s framework works across ages because it’s based on how humans respond to boundaries, consistency, and respect – not age-specific tricks.
