I'm Susan Stiffelman. I'm a marriage and family therapist, an educational therapist, parent coach, writer, author of Parenting without Power Struggles, Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids while Staying Cool, Calm and Connected, and most importantly, the mother of a 20-year-old great son who’s in college. It’s been my joy and my passion and pleasure to work with parents around the world doing life presentations that venues doing parent coaching over the phone. I have a private practice in California and of course I love to write and the book is just one of many ways that I express myself online and in written form. I love to dance. I love to be with friends. I certainly love spending time with my son when he’s in town and basically, I have a wonderful, joyful life that is full, rich and happy.
