Do you dread another dinner-table meltdown or bedtime battle with your defiant child? Are you exhausted by tantrums and power struggles that leave you feeling frustrated and alone? You are not crazy - and you're not alone. Millions of parents face strong-willed children who seem to test every limit. But there IS hope.

You're not raising a difficult child. You're raising a strong one - and most parenting advice was never written with your kid in mind.

Power Struggle Rescue is the no-nonsense, deeply compassionate guide for parents of strong-willed children who are done yelling into the void and ready for something that actually works. You'll learn why your child's defiance isn't a character flaw - it's a wiring difference - and exactly how to meet it with calm, confidence, and connection.

Inside, you'll discover:

  • Ready-to-use scripts for the most common power struggles - tantrums, refusals, backtalk, and meltdowns - so you always know what to say and how to say it
  • Calm consequence strategies that teach accountability without shame, yelling, or endless standoffs
  • The surprising triggers behind stubborn behavior and how to neutralize them before they escalate
  • The biggest mistakes parents make with strong-willed kids - and how to course-correct starting today
  • Connection-first discipline techniques that turn your child's intensity, persistence, and fire into lifelong strengths

This isn't about breaking your child's spirit. It's about understanding it - and learning to lead it.

Strong-willed kids don't need harder discipline. They need smarter discipline. And you, the right guide.

Power Struggle Rescue gives you both.

Rarely are the terms “hilarious storyteller” and “theologian” used in the same sentence—much less to describe the same person—but Lisa Harper is definitely not stereotypical! She has an earned doctorate from Houston Theological Seminary, has published extensively, and teaches the Bible around the world, but she’s also a frequent belly laugher. She describes her greatest accomplishment as being Missy’s mom through the miracle of adoption, followed closely by learning to wake surf in her sixties.
