Parenting on Purpose

No parent starts off knowing what to do...

in.ten.tion.al adj. done on purpose

Without IN-tentional effort, our parenting methods can create conflict instead of connection. The authoritarian way most of us have been taught to parent:

creates conflict
frustration
endless power struggles
leaves us with broken and distant relationships with our children

When we parent our children without working through our own past, we are destined to repeat painful patterns we ourselves experienced as children, no matter how badly we want it to be different.

Healing

Heal the wounds you experienced as a child, so your children don’t have to

Trust

Create a relationship with your children based on trust, connection and collaboration

Harmony

Experience peace, harmony and mutual understanding with your children

It’s Never Too Late to
Turn Things Around

No matter what your relationship with your child(ren) looks like right now, there is hope.

Depending on where things are at, it can be hard to believe there is truly another way. But I promise you there is.

None of us start off as parents knowing what to do. We create plans, try to be the people we want to be and watch as our idealistic imaginings get run over by the reality of daily life and the immense pressures of caring for our children.

Hi! I’m Suzanne Clayton

I became a parenting coach because I’m committed to changing my relationship with my girls. I had a deep desire to be to them what my parents were unable to be for me.

I discovered that when we parent our children without working through our own history, we are destined to repeat painful patterns we ourselves experienced as children, no matter how badly we want it to be different.

It’s hard to admit but I recognized that my reactivity and yelling was harming my girls and breaking our connection. I was desperate to find a solution. I did some intensive growth work of healing old wounds, breaking generational, and cultural cycles. Jai Parenting Coach Training gave me the help I needed.

I believe all children deserve to be loved and guided by the best version each of us have to offer them, as parents. I love to empower parents to take intentional steps towards parenting with faith, compassion, and love.

"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."

Proverbs 22:6

How It Works:

When you book a call with me, we’ll sit down together and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.

I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.

If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
