"Susan Stone Belton was a hit with parents at St. Simon School! She empathizes with parents and acknowledges the awesome task they have undertaken. She commends them for their parenting ability, and gives practical and realistic tips for strengthening their skills to raise children to become successful adults. Susan addresses parents of toddlers to teens with ideas about choices, consequences and consistency, and she does so with a great deal of humor and common sense. Her Q and A session gave on-the-spot help for our parents' immediate concerns. Thank you, Susan, for an enjoyable and informative evening!"

Jean Meyer
PTSA Parent Education Chair
Santa Clara High School

"There is still an enthusiastic buzz in our high school community about our recent PTA evening with Susan Stone Belton. Her humorous and thought provoking presentation on raising teens to responsible adulthood addressed many of the issues all parents confront in the teen years: curfews, homework, grades communication, dating, internet usage, family rules, making good choices, consequences and more. Parents, educators and school administrators present greatly appreciated Susan's experience, education and training in adolescent behavior, and all loved her witty, loving empathy as a mother of teens herself. Her straight-talking, no-nonsense approach on loving teens was refreshing, and we are looking forward to having her back at a future date. Do yourself a favor! Schedule some time one-on-one, or for your community, with Susan Stone Belton."
