Work — the second rung
Don't just read the journey. Work through yours.
The Parent & Mentor Pack pairs the book with a Start Here roadmap and six practical tools designed to help you apply what you learn — in your home, your conversations, and your next decision.
The eBook inside the Pack is the same book also available in paperback at Barnes & Noble.

What's inside
Eight pieces, one steady sequence
Every tool arrives as a PDF — read it on your phone, or print it and write on it by hand.

Where it lands
The Next Rung Action Plan
Everything in the Pack points toward one page: the single next step you can own this week. Not the whole climb — the next rung. Print it, put it where you'll see it, and come back to it when the ground shifts.
A gentle next step
After the tools: the Private Challenge
When you're ready, you can apply for five free, private one-on-one mentoring sessions — no obligation afterward.
