About Kerry


Kerry StutzmanKerry Stutzman is passionately committed to helping create happy, peaceful families. She uses her experience and training to guide parents to achieve calm, consistent and confident parenting skills. Kerry has successfully guided hundreds of clients to use love and laughter to keep parenting fun while raising delightful, responsible kids.

Kerry’s fun and interactive “Becoming a Love and Logic Parent” workshops, lectures and individual work with parents help her clients successfully end whining and arguing, get their kids to listen, and deliver effective consequences that are designed to teach children valuable life lessons. One definition of the word “discipline” is “to teach.” Kerry approaches most parenting challenges with that in mind, looking for what the children need to learn in order to behave to the best of their ability.

Kerry has been a happily married, stay-at-home mother as well as a divorced, single working mom going to school and making ends meet, so she can relate to a wide variety of parenting experiences. She has seen the transformation of her own family when she starting using skills from The Love and Logic Institute.

With her Master’s Degree in Social Work and her post-graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, Kerry brings a broad base of experience to her 13 years of teaching Love and Logic parenting classes. Most importantly, Kerry is real. She understands the fun as well as the frustration of parenting and it is her joy to help parents make the most of the most important job there is.

“Always appreciate the little things, because in the end you realize they were big things.”
– Author unknown

I love this quote, because I have spent so much of my time as a mother being present in body, but having my mind off somewhere else… planning dinner, going over my “to do” list, fretting about the future. What I am working on now is living in the moment more, treasuring the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less. One of my favorite “little things” is when my son slips his hand into mine as we walk. I love the feel of his little hand in mine, holding on for security and comfort. I try to savor these moments now, because I am seeing that what others said of parenting young children is true, that “the days last forever, but the years fly by.”
