I am a parenting expert, writer, speaker and parenting coach and the author of ‘Raising Happy Children for Dummies’ one in the famous black and yellow global series and I run workshops, eCourses, teleseminars and 1-2-1 coaching programmes to enhance, fine tune and give you clarity, direction and confidence in your own ability as a parent.
I have also created a highly respected and successful series of Parenting Made Easy toolkits covering a wide range of topics from toddlers to teens and have appeared regularly on BBC Breakfast TV, BBC Radio 2 Jeremy Vine's Show as well as being delighted to have been invited to be a Judge for The National Family Week "Family of the Year 2009" and my articles on parenting have been published around the world from China to Poland!
I am passionate about making life with children easier and more rewarding, and I am extremely enthusiastic about helping you to bring up happy, confident, well-balanced adults; today's children - tomorrow's future.
By introducing you to new ways of thinking about yourself and your family relationships through one to one coaching, workshops, my books and my Parenting Made Easy Toolkits I help you and your family to move forward and create positive change easily.
As a former teacher and Deputy Head, I studied for my teaching degree at St. Mary's College, London and I have a Diploma in Life Coaching from The Coaching Academy, the largest professional training school in Europe.
I am a qualified NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer and have been taught by Dr Richard Bandler the co-founder and creator of NLP in association with Paul McKenna Training , the largest NLP organisation in the world, working alongside John La Valle the President of the Society of NLP, Michael Neill Hollywood Life Coach and Paul McKenna himself .
My parenting courses are accredited by the ECI - Europe's Accreditation Body for Coaches and Coach Training Providers.
I am also a EFT Parenting specialist. Emotional Freedom Technique is the power therapy of the 21st Century and is a simple and straightforward technique for resolving parenting stress, anger and guilt. Tapping provides the code for unlocking nature's healing systems and has been used most recently by Paul McKenna on Sky TV (whom I regularly assist on his ground breaking Easy Weight Loss Seminars), Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2 and Whoopi Goldberg where she successfully used tapping to overcome her severe fear of flying.
I am also on the International Register of Professional Coaches.
In addition to running one to one parent coaching sessions I am a regular speaker at events and workshops throughout the UK. I am currently working on a series of bespoke, specialist coaching programmes for Headteachers, Senior Management Teams, Governors, Class Teachers and SENCO Specialists addressing issues of stress, overwhelm and preparation for Ofsted.
I am also writing a series of Parenting Made Easy Teleseminars that can be accessed really easily by telephone from the comfort of your own home!

I have also just finished creating a new workshop for children which I am very passionate about called:
~Beating Bullying~
Confidence Classes for Kids.
Helping children feel good about themselves
As I believe all children should be able to grow up free from the crippling affects of self doubt, lack of confidence, and low self esteem and be empowered to unleash their true potential - whatever that means for them.

My book "Raising Happy Children for Dummies" is one in the famous black and yellow series published worldwide by Wiley and is available by clicking here
Parenting can be a frustrating, overwhelming and challenging business but it can also be a huge joy, privilege and source of inspiration.
My vision is to inspire millions, one parent at a time building confidence, positivity and harmony within families, enhancing and fine tuning, not judging, criticising or blaming.
I want to pat you on the back not point a finger at you !
My vision includes giving back to society and empowering parents with techniques and strategies that give them a wide range of tools to work with that are practical and down to earth - because kids don't come with a handbook .....! (Well, maybe they do now! )
I want to help you to be the best you can be so your children grow up to be happy, confident and well balanced parents - like a ripple in a pond making a positive difference in society over time.
I am passionate about supporting my charity for 2010 Sparks - the wonderful children’s medical research charity helping to fund research across the whole spectrum of paediatric medicine so I tithe a percentage of my income from Positive Parents= Confident Kids to this amazing charity.
I really love coaching as I am such a "people" person and I love spending time personally encouraging, championing and celebrating every parent's success either face to face or over the telephone.
I just love helping parents, like you, move from where you are now to where you want to go in your family relationships easily.
Change happens quickly but habits often take a little longer so that's why I love my 12 week Mastery Programme as I really enjoy seeing parents gain their own clarity, direction and confidence over such a short period of time.
I'd love to hear from you as life is full of colour and fun when you get together with other people so please drop me an e-mail to say hello and let me know how I can help you at sue@positive-parents.com
