Customer Reviews

common sense help
I bought and read this after a kindergarten teacher friend of mine told me about it. I now have bought several copies, and have given them away. This is a book any parent can benefit from, but I think if you have young children it is the most helpful.

Grade retention advice, public versus private advice.
Book covers more than homework hassles.

Has an excellent section on when appropriate to retain (hold back) a child, as well as the least biased & naive comparision of public versus private schools I've ever seen, explaining the rare situations when private school is a better choice.

Oldie but goodie
I know that this book is a little older, but I have been a big fan of Rosemond for years. The info he gives is time tested, so it doesn't matter if it is published recently or a few years ago. I have applied most of his principles to my 4th grade twins, with predictable results. A little baulking initially, and now they are very responsible for themselves and their successes (and failures) are their own. I am proud of them.
