A twelve-week coaching season for the parent, run at your own table and closing with a living-room showcase. Week by week you get how confidence actually gets built, the audience-not-editor stance, the thirty-second feedback method, the full say-this-not-that table, twelve named tools, the Ladder, twenty drills, and the hard cases, including the performer who cannot hold a conversation. Ten chapters, each opening where you live: the minivan, the dinner table, the doorway before the tryout. You work from it for twelve weeks and keep it for the next kid. This is the season. The cohort is the room. The book will teach you what to do. It cannot give your student a room of peers, a live audience, and a coach watching their hands.

About the 2026-27 Edition
This is the 2026-27 Edition. Every Rhetrix title is dated, because every Rhetrix title gets rebuilt. Each summer we take a year of real families running these pages, cut what did not earn its place, and ship a new edition with new material. Your purchase is this edition, in full, for good, with any correction we publish to it at no charge. Next summer's edition is a new book with new work in it, sold on its own. We would rather earn the next one than hand it over.
