In this episode of the Ask Mom Parenting Podcast, Sue Donnellan, mom of four, parenting coach, and
reformed yeller, has real, no BS conversations with Randee Moore about what really works in
parenting.

Sue shares her powerful transition from old-school, authoritarian tactics to a leadership-based
approach that actually improves behavior without power struggles. They dive into the research-backed
reasons yelling, punishment, and timeouts backfire and why the “gentle parenting” trend often misses
the mark by lacking clear leadership. Randee brings the data from the National Institute of Health,
while Sue brings real-life experience and practical tools that shift family dynamics fast.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:
 “Why won’t my kid listen?”
 “Why do I feel like I’m losing control?”
 “How do I raise kids who respect me without fearing me?”
…this one’s for you.

What You’ll Learn:
– Why authoritarian parenting creates more defiance, not less
– The hidden downside of “gentle parenting”
– What it means to lead your child instead of managing behavior
– How to stop reacting and start role modeling
– A simple mindset shift to transform your home dynamic

Key Questions Discussed:
 When did you realize something had to change in your parenting?
 What’s your take on gentle parenting?
 What’s one area in your parenting you know isn’t working and how can you lead it differently?

Perfect for:
Parents who are tired of yelling, exhausted by power struggles, and ready to raise emotionally healthy,
self-accountable kids without giving up their authority.
