Isn't it time for a parenting book that is both practical and inspirational?

Destini Ann offers up real life strategies for tackling many of today's most challenging parenting scenarios using positive discipline techniques, with examples from her own experience with raising two girls. She'll encourage you; she'll coach you; and she'll help you become your best self and a better parent.

Here's what you'll find inside:
- A fresh, energetic take on parenting in today's world.
- Practical tips for creating open and constructive dialogue with your kids.
- Refreshing insight on fixing yourself first and healing your own wounds, so you can then avoid bringing that baggage into your child's world.

Very helpful!

I loved this book! It contained very actionable steps and relatable information to help navigate the challenges associated with parenthood.

Loved it

Loved it. So many good nuggets to take away from it. Loved her social media pages and having the book it soooo much more in-depth. Easy listen/read….. can’t wait for my husband to read!!!

Game changer

This book is so inspired! Destini gives great advice, examples, and tools to help in our parenting (and re-parenting) journey. She has a great narrating voice and it was a joy to listen to and learn from. Thank you, Destini!

Big fan of this book!

I’m a huge fan of this book. I listened to the audio book read by the author which made it even better. Where many parenting books I love put primary focus on neural development of the child and empathizing with the child to affect change in how you show up for your child, this book spends the majority of the focus on you as the parent and what you can control as the parent (your self, your boundaries, your family culture, etc). It felt so empowering to know this information is all immediately actionable things I can grow in myself to encourage my familial values and goals within my household. I loved how non-judgmental this book is and how very inclusive it is of all households including the single parent homes. Some light profanity here and there, but it was tastefully done in my opinion.

Gentle Parenting

There are so many jewels in this book. I also appreciate that it's read by the author.
I have so many takeaways and I'm sure I will listen to this many more times.
