I was your regular married career woman ( a Chartered Accountant married to an Engineer) having children and raising them up the best way I knew (way I also was raised). Things went normal for a while as best as a home with 4 young children with working parents could. But one day….I woke up and discovered my first child (female) who just got into ‘teens threshold had become a ‘total stranger’! From an intelligent, quiet and obedient girl to this ‘sharp mouth’, defensive and care free personality! Rebellious almost. I went from shock, disbelief to ‘this is reality’. It jolted me to action….this was neither what I planned or wanted. I had 3 coming after her!
I started to research, ask questions, pray and began bit by bit to practice what I had learned. Very slowly but surely…things began to improve and I continued to learn even as the others approached their teenage too. Along the line I discovered what worked for one did not necessarily work for the other. Birth positions, temperaments and the uniqueness of each came to bear. It was tough to sift the good, godly and workable from the enormous research and many times conflicting advice offered and received…..I decided the first books I’ll write will be on parenting having discovered parenting is NOT INSTINCTIVE, it is LEARNED especially after the toddler ages.
Several years down the line, all in their twenties; our children are very intelligent, focused and bright young adults doing very well and contributing in different ways to the society.
I realise just like me, lots of parents suddenly also find themselves in the position I did and need help…
If that is you or you’re about to start or just starting the parenting journey…this is a good place to be.
I have books, I speak and I mentor…..it’s a passion that has overtaken my profession ( Accounting) as it goes without saying that a better society will evolve from stable, focused and well brought up children .
Come along with me…my name is Susan and together we will walk this parenting journey together…
