Welcome To The Resource For Parents Who Want To Be The Best They Can Be, And Have Happy And Harmonious Family Relationships

Let's face it, bringing up kids is challenging, frustrating and often exhausting.

Because the trouble is, kids don't come with a handbook!

And, if you don't have a proven system for bringing up your kids in the first place, your results can be random and haphazard, not to mention stressful and frustrating.

But I've got some good news for you! You see, despite these challenges, there are parents just like you, who consistently try new ways of doing things, get curious about what works and what doesn't and even really enjoy feeling confident in bringing up their children. And all apparently without shouting, losing their temper or getting stressed out. I call these people 'Confident Parents.'

So what's the difference between those who struggle day after day, and those who consistently bring up their kids with ease? And, more importantly, how can you quickly become a Confident Parent too?

That's where I come in. My name is Sue Atkins and I specialise in helping people like you to become positive, confident and relaxed parents.

And the first thing I can tell you is that in all the years that I've been helping parents to enjoy their children, I've discovered that...

Being a Confident Parent is an 'inside' job, as well as an 'outside' job

The problem with traditional advice is that it only deals with what you are supposed to do on the outside. For example, what to do when your child answers you back or is naughty, but in the time I've been helping people like you to increase their confidence and sucess, I've found that becoming confident is as much an 'inside' job as an 'outside' job.

In other words, what's going on inside your family is a reflection of what's going on inside you. Sometimes parents can be doing 'all the right things' on the outside - yet unconsciously being anxious and tense with their kids on the inside. Children are very perceptive and pick up on your vibes.

Any child expert will tell you that it's important to believe in what you are doing and saying, but how exactly do you do that when YOU ARE feeling unsure, unconfident and stressed?

If you're serious about becoming the best you can be and want to unlock your parenting potential, you have to address what's going on 'inside' you and look at what values are really important to you, so you know how to pass them on to your children. You need to be clear about your discipline, your routines and the ultimate goal of your parenting which is to bring up a happy, confident, well balanced adult - today's child but tomorrow's future.

And at the same time, this inner reflection and looking at the bigger picture to your parenting shouldn't divert or prevent you from making full use of practical, proven techniques that you can apply right now to increase your parenting success.

I created Positive Parents Confident Kids to help parents like you to master both the 'inner' and 'outer' picture of bringing up your children.

Testimonials
'I would like to say a big thank you for the positive input your book has had on my family. Being a single mother of two young boys (7 and 10 years) is not easy. I have always been worried about the effect the difficult divorce may have had on them. Let alone everyday life. I needed guidance and helpful advice, which is exactly what your book provides. It is so easy to pick out the information you need at that time without having to read all the book in one go. I still regularly dip in and out of it. My relationship with my boys is so much stronger, we now have a content and positive family unit. In fact it has helped us to develop into a fun, happy friendship as well, filled with love. Your book has really helped me become the confident parent I am now!! Thank you.'
