Pressured Parents, Stressed-Out Kids: Dealing with Competition While Raising a Successful Child Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've read a number of books on this topic and "Pressured Parents, Stressed-Out Kids" is by far the best. Dr. Grolnick and Ms. Seal sympathize with the pressures we parents are facing and don't seek to blame us the way certain other authors do. They offer real solutions instead of just lecturing us on the evils of overscheduling and competition. I also appreciated their emphasis on balancing autonomy with structure. They aren't in favor of permissiveness, a refreshing attitude for this type of book. Highly recommended!

Sports Psychology For Dummies (For Dummies (Lifestyles Paperback)) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As an educator of 36 years, holding an MS Degree (plus 60 hrs.
of continued Graduate credit) and awarded Master Teacher of Ohio
status, I find this book a great resource for anyone interested
in helping children create a balanced life! Most prevalent in the
news recently are the multitude of head injuries and other lifelong
injuries caused by inappropriate expectations of parents and coaches
for young children to achieve physical (sports related)accomplishments beyond their developmental capabilities. Be sure to read the section entitled "Differentiating Between Your Motivation and Your Kids'(motivation)!" This is a "real-life" manual for all
adults seeking to create a healthier future for our children!
