The Over-Scheduled Child: Avoiding the Hyper-Parenting Trap

Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

"Lists and Schedules, Meetings and appointments, the need to be the best no matter whatn -- doesn't it sound like your life? It's not; it's your child's. Parenting today has come to resemble a relentless to-do list. Even parents with the best intentions strive to micromanage every detail of their kid's life and live in constant fear that their child will underperform in any area -- academic, social, athletic. The fact is, parenting should not consume every last bit of our time, money, and energy. It's not good for us as parents, and it's potentially danagerous for our children and their healthy development." -- Publisher (barnesandnoble.com)
