Raise your kids through positive parenting, understanding, and leadership...and be the ultimate influencer in their lives.

How do you raise a champion? After her son Adam Rippon medaled in the 2018 Olympic Games, single mom Kelly Rippon found herself being asked this question all the time. Kelly had six children - what did she do to inspire them to their achievements, and how did she raise confident, self-driven, emotionally intelligent children? Kelly realized that her unique parenting ideas shared the same leadership influence model she presented to audiences across the country as a motivational and professional development speaker.

Her philosophy is simple: A parent has the greatest opportunity to be the most significant influence in a child’s life. Kelly shares 10 key types of influence - from optimism to accountability - that will inspire your kids and build your own sense of purpose and self-worth. Illustrating her influencer philosophy with relatable anecdotes from her own life and raising gifted children, Kelly invites you into your own journey of self-discovery in one of the best books on parenting and child development. No matter the challenges, you can improve your life and empower your children when you parent up!

Whether you’re raising a future Olympian or a future educator, this book has powerful insight on parenting.

The author gives a compelling outlook of exploring the role of motherhood; especially after divorce. Although I do wish she had mentioned the role of the father in their life. It is unclear what role he played which I think would’ve cleared up just how much support she had from him although her role was very clear, his was not. Overall I really enjoyed listening to the dynamics between her children and how they all worked cohesively together as a family. It’s a wonderful tribute to positive parenting and raising children into adulthood. Whether you’re raising a future Olympian or a future educator, this book has powerful insight on parenting.

The best parenting book I’ve read so far

I have two children, and my oldest is an extremely difficult child with issues that require medication and therapy. As such, I have had to attend a lot of workshops and webinars, speak to many experts, and have read a lot of parenting books. While I have found the other books to be helpful in their ways, I found this book to be the most helpful as far as the general approach to positivity and joy ... something which can be sorely lacking in the households of those with difficult children. I really appreciate the author’s approach to turning negativity into positivity, and the emphasis on the power of both kindness and how our words and actions have impact. I highly recommend this book two parents of all kinds, teachers, and anyone else who deals with children.

Awesome book.

I just wanna say this book is clearly a fantastic read kelly Rippon and her son Adam are such inspiring people this book is Awesome happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there who support there athletes just a great book.
