In The Playground Leader, Dr. Autumn Swain offers a transformative approach to developing our children, from toddler to teen and beyond, as leaders for today. Too often we speak of youth development as something preparing our young people for the future, but we should be forming them into the leaders they were meant to be today. This thought-provoking, deeply inspired book will also challenge and positively impact all the adults reading this book. The Playground Leader will not only equip and transform our young people, but it will leave its mark on you too. When we show up our best, our children will be better for it.

This book equips the the entire team, whether a family, classroom, or arena, with tools for the development of key leadership qualities and character development bringing so much hope not just for the future, but for today.
