Barbara Coloroso is a world renowned speaker and author. She has penned several international bestselling books on parenting, non-violent conflict resolution, and school discipline. She was once a Franciscan nun but now lives with her husband in Colorado and she is mother to three grown children.

In her 30 years of experience she says she has made mistakes and learned a lot about being a parent. Coloroso says it is all about raising caring, responsible and independent children. Recently we had a chance to talk with Coloroso about parenting and the re-release of her 1994 book “kids are worth it!”

AMW: Talk to us about “kids are worth it!” and what it is like to have your book back in print again. Do you think the book is still relevant to parents today?
