Description: Rose Rock has raised 10 children in addition to caring for 17 foster children in her 40-plus years as a mother. As one who does not shy away from hard conversations, Rose isn't afraid to present strong ideas about boundaries, discipline, choices, and consequences. Here, she shares the funny and highly practical lessons she learned both as a parent and an educator, while offering strategies for teaching a child to be self-reliant in this world.
