Ginny's son lived by the motto "GO BIG OR GO HOME" until he was murdered by a fellow soldier here in the U.S. after returning safely from service in Iraq.
Listen to Ginny tell her story (childhood tantrums, how Bart was murdered, the origins of "Go Big," and her plan for healing the difficult problems facing our military families), and then join her in her GO BIG mission of bringing greater social-emotional learning to all military families so another mother doesn't experience a loss like hers.

Thank you for sharing your heartbreaking story. I took one of your Peaceful Parenting classes about 6 years ago. You taught us so many valuable lessons on parenting and I so enjoyed the stories you would share about your son Bart to help us apply what we were learning. You are truly an inspiration. To turn this tragedy into triumph is a real honor to Bart's legacy of GO BIG OR GO HOME! We need more people like you to care about our military families and their emotional states. Best Wishes!

Dear Ginny, You are filled with such love and forgiveness and a strong sense to help others.You are an inspiration. I will answer your call to GO BIG OR GO HOME. To start, I want to bring your message to the Homestead Air Reserve Base in FL. As a teacher, I used strategies from Conscious Discipline to help my students develop emotionally and I know these skills will help our soldiers too. Your plan is bold but as you know more than most, there's power in Loving Guidance:) With Love,Mindy Dickman

Dearest Ginny, Just think how far you and this community have come since the loss of your son Bart.
We have learned and grown together.
We are stronger, and wiser in so many ways.
Just remember you have already "Go-ne Big"
Best to you and Jack. XOXO Kimberly

Yes, yes, yes. Somehow you have to get in touch with Michelle Obama. There needs to be a national discussion about the emotionsl state of service men when they come home from war, the more we talk about it, the less it is stigmatized. Go big or go home, nationally. Wish you the best of luck!!!! I will link this wherever I can to start a campaign: Ginny and Mrs. O
