This is a helpful, realistic guide for parents and caregivers to help their children do better in school and other activities. Dr. Rimm's voice is non-judgmental and compassionate. I've learned many helpful strategies from this book.

June 12, 2007I'm still reading it, almost done. It offers good advice that all parents could apply. Of course I have no clue why I'm reading it, since I am childless (heck I'm not ever married:P) and hardly think I'd remember all this 5 years from now:) but all the same, good read.
