What to do when your child just won't listen with Susan Groner

Susan (Sue) Groner joins me on this episode to discuss how we can shift our perspective as parents and make parenting young children who don't listen less stressful. We discuss: why young children don't always do what we tell them, how we can help support them during transitions in a way that is developmentally appropriate and understanding of their needs, how to respond to hitting and other aggressive behaviors, dealing with sibling rivalry, and the importance of 1:1 connection time.  Susan G. Groner, an experienced mother of 2 young adults, knows how stressful and overwhelming parenting can be. As the founder of The Parenting Mentor, a multifaceted platform for parents looking for guidance in raising emotionally healthy, self-resilient children, Sue provides simple and effective parenting strategies. With the goal of reducing everyday stress and anxiety that inevitably comes from being a parent, Sue provides a roadmap that shifts perspective to help parents be happier and more relaxed. Sue is the author of Parenting with Sanity and Joy. 101 Simple Strategies,  the host of The Parenting Mentor Sessions Podcast and a certified Positive Discipline parent educator. She is also the creator of the CLEARR™, a method of parenting developed through years of trial (and her fair share of errors!).  CLEARR™ adheres to the belief that parenting strategies should be grounded in six important pillars: Communication, Love, Empathy, Awareness, Rules, and Respect. This has become the cornerstone of her practice as The Parenting Mentor. From how to stop being the homework, screentime, food, or sleep warden to reducing sibling rivalry, the wisdom of her methodology helps parents foster and maintain a more fulfilling and stress-free experience while in the trenches of day-to-day child-rearing. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taylorkulik/support
