Product Description
Author and educator Barbara Bancroft Symanski, a veteran of the classroom for thirty-plus years, has seen the transition from yesterday's attentive, well-behaved, and well-equipped children to today's children, who often enter school ''unprepared to learn.'' In her long and varied career, Symanski has noticed an increasing number of children displaying an inability to concentrate, a lack of motivation, and a tendency toward disrespect. She understands that raising successful children in today's world is a challenging prospect. All too often, today's parents struggle with how to prepare their children for success. (''The parent,'' Symanski notes, ''is the child's most important teacher!'') Successful Children: Step by Step - One Teacher's Viewpoint is a practical guide for parents, an indispensable aid that will help them smoothly steer their children along the path to success. Arranged in diverse and helpful categories, Successful Children suggests and directs but never preaches.
