In a world where children are more anxious, parents are more overwhelmed, and young adults are graduating into life without the practical skills or emotional resilience they need, Parent on Purpose offers a refreshing and much-needed path forward.
 
Today’s culture encourages parents to micromanage every detail of their child’s life in the pursuit of success. The result? Kids with impressive résumés who struggle to solve problems, build authentic relationships, or even manage basic responsibilities.
 
Author Amy Carney, mother of six, speaker, and widely read parenting voice, believes it doesn’t have to be this way.
 
After writing the viral article “The 8 Things You Should Stop Doing for Your Teen,” Carney sparked a nationwide conversation about the importance of raising confident, capable, and independent young adults. Drawing from her experiences raising triplet sons, a daughter, and two adopted boys with her retired NHL–player husband, she provides parents with a practical, heartfelt roadmap for intentional parenting in today’s performance-driven world.
 
Parent on Purpose equips moms and dads to:
Lead with courage, clarity, and conviction
Build life skills, resilience, and responsibility in their children
Strengthen connection and character in the home
Redefine success beyond grades, trophies, and achievements
Launch young adults who are ready for real life
 
Thought-provoking, relatable, and filled with practical guidance, this Special Edition
Hardcover is a timeless resource for families seeking to raise grounded, capable kids
who thrive—not just perform—in the world ahead.
