For all the joy it brings,
being a parent is tough stuff.

Susan G. Groner

the parenting mentor

Every day, we face more challenges than we could ever know how to handle. So we stress. We hover. We see ourselves in our children’s every success; every failure. We ride the highs and the lows because above all, we care. But if we’re not careful, it can overtake us —the anxiety, stress, and constant desire to do the right thing.

And while we can never erase our challenges, having an ally and mentor to guide us can make all the difference.

Success stories

“To call Sue a miracle worker is an understatement. She’s much more than that. Sue has coached me through it all—communicating better with my rambunctious toddler, establishing healthier relationships with our support system (family and external), and teaching me various tools and prompts to stay firm on the important things and let the little things go. Sue’s mentorship and friendship has helped me become a more confident mother, a more communicative wife, and a better daughter and daughter-in-law. She’s a light in our family’s life.”

Hitha Palepu, Author and Entrepreneur

"Sue ran a mentoring session for me and six of my dearest friends. We all left that session feeling reassured and more confident in the way we handle difficult situations with our kids. Her practical advice, tips, and scripts to use in every situation led to a lot of ‘a-ha moments.’ Sue breaks things down and helps you see each situation from your child’s point of view. She is an invaluable resource in navigating parenthood!"

Fran Hauser, author of Myth of the Nice Girl

"I have been lucky enough to have Sue as a mother-mentor in my life for a few years now. Every time I doubt what I am doing as a mom, Sue will not only remind me to be kinder to myself, but also gently nudge me in a better direction of mothering that I likely wouldn’t have figured out or discovered on my own. Every parent in our anxiety-filled culture needs Sue in their lives!"

Liz Raun Schlesinger, founder and CEO Merit Hill Capital

“The Parenting Mentor transformed our bedtime routine from a nightmare to an enjoyable bonding experience, thanks to her transformational shifts in communication.”

Amri Kibbler, Co-founder of Heymama

Susan G. Groner

The Parenting Mentor, author + mom

As the mother of two grown children, Sue Groner knows how stressful and overwhelming parenting can be at times. She founded The Parenting Mentor to provide an ally for parents in their quest to raise confident and resilient children.

Sue is also the creator of the CLEARR™ method of parenting, developed through years of trial (and her fair share of errors!) with her own family.  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.
