Creating a better world for children by equipping and supporting the adults leading them.
Can you relate?
OVERWHELMED
You question whether you are fit to even be around kids. You're tired and lack the confidence you so desperately need.
LOST
You find yourself in a battle for control and dont' like who you become. You've lost your true and best self in caring for others
EXHAUSTED
Your child's big emotions and behavioral outburst cause you experience overwhelm and confusion about what's happening in you!
What if I told you...
There is ONE child...
-
That will impact your calling over all the others.
-
That will challenge you and frustrate you... even embarrass you.
-
That will cause you to experience anger, fear, and shame more than you want to admit.
There is ONE child...
-
That will influence everything.
-
That will demand your attention.
-
That deserves more of your time.
There is ONE child...
-
That needs to be seen.
-
That needs to be heard.
-
That needs to feel safe.
What if I told you...
That ONE child is ...YOU
If you are a parent or professional leading children, yours is a high calling.
​
If your like me, you may be surprised by your own reactions that seem to come out of no where.
​
Like so many, we do things we don't want to do, and fail to do the things we want to do!
​
When it comes to failing our kids, the guilt and shame can be fierce.
​
We need to take a moment to come home to ourselves. To turn compassion inward.
​
Only then, can we be the leaders our children so desperately need.
Hi...
I'm Susan Parker Jones
As a seasoned counselor and Mom, I am confident in my strategies to help children and families, but I wasn't always. I recall feeling lost as I tried to meet the needs of my kids and those I served. What I came to recognize was that my own 'inner child' was often running the show.
I've learned so much over the years as both a Clinician and Adoptive Mom about how to connect with myself and my children in meaningful ways so we both can be equipped to recover from childhood's "hard places."
I wrote The Wholehearted Child to empower adults to develop greater harmony within themselves, as well as the children in their lives, with an approach that applies ancient Enneagram wisdom to modern childhood challenges. I've created the Harmony Leadership Model to support the work.
Life's journey can hold a lot of "hard places", but if we take the time to rebuild harmony within ourselves, we can truly be the leaders the next generation needs.

Susan Parker Jones has written a very reasoned, empathic, practical book about children and parenting. She knows the Enneagram well and it clearly informs her therapy practice. Susan has a light-hearted sensitive touch to her writing. No shaming; just explaining. For parents who want to
understand the Enneagram and their children, The Wholehearted Child is well worth a read.
