Good leaders are hard to raise. Learn from this poignant parenting memoir the path to let go and let grow. Parenting a strong-willed child is a constant uphill battle—until you learn how to shift from control to connection using the help of a parent who guided her difficult child into a resilient leader.

Positive Parenting founder, Conscious Discipline specialist, and single mom Ginny Luther, MS, struggled with her young son Bart, who was defiant and had a violent temper. The more she tried to control him, the worse his behavior got. Overwhelmed with the challenges and guilt, Ginny realized she had to stop reacting in fear and anger and learn to connect with Bart or they’d never make it.
