To our fans and loyal listeners… Susie and I (Kelly) are truly sorry for the long and unexpected break we have taken. Our listeners may have noticed that episodes came to a screeching halt come end of April 2023. Both Susie and I have been battling germs that seem never-ending. And while Susie’s deal is personal, I’m comfortable sharing that I’ve been battling a reoccurring cold since the beginning of May and I’m still sick with it today, June 22, […]

As Tim Taylor said to his wife Jill on the family sitcom, Home Improvement, “If we’re not in charge, then we’re just the tallest people living here.” In many households, kids rule the land, so today we’re talking about how to make sure you as the parent are the leader and authority in your home… without yelling or any other negative reinforcements. We talk about the trickle down effects of an effective authority figure, like kids growing in to respected […]

Episode 014 | Respecting Boundaries & Acting When Safety is of Concern

AskSusie — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 08:30:00 +0000

🚩 TRIGGER WARNING 🚩 *In this podcast episode, we discuss drowning events, kidnapping, and a shooting, which some listeners may find distressing. We discuss respecting boundaries set by THE PARENTS. Even the strongly opinionated Sergeant Susie asks “do you REALLY want to know what I think” before offering her advice. We talk lightly about differing rules between households. Then we segue into overstepping boundaries when safety is a concern. SGT Susie has so many instances where to stepped into protect […]

AskSusie — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 08:30:00 +0000

Susie shares how she was always finding activities that are fun for the whole family… tennis, roller-skating, martial arts, and on and on. And specifically how juggling (literally juggling) became a lifelong interest that grew into generational family fun. From big activities to little activities, every moment shared together as a family increases your bond. From athletics and clubs to enjoying family dinners together, sharing interests can make all the difference. DISCLAIMER: Please note that the views and opinions expressed by the host and […]

Sergeant Susie and Kelly dive into a Binky vs. Thumb-Sucking conversation, with practical and comical past stories to back why SGT Susie prefers one over the other. And what about the bigger picture of the attachment to a future item, like a stuffed animal, blankie, or other comfort item?
