Anne Rambo writes from the best possible perspective. Both mother and expert she gives clear information, and lots of it, in a readable and empathetic way. Her book is a pleasure to read. Ms Rambo gives detail and further contacts and lets us know our rights and responsibilities. She shows how other parents go through the things we do. She gives hope and practical ways to get through difficult times. Did you know you can request assessment for your child at any time and your school must respond? Did you hear of Wardolf schools? Anne Rambo gives all sorts of interesting information and has you feeling she's your own concerned expert.

I work with families who have experienced difficulties with their children while in school. This book has been written as a helpful tool for any parent with children in a U.S. school. The book is easy to understand and follow: the chapters can be read separately or all together. Dr. Rambo's professionalism comes through as she helps parents understand their children's experiences with the school system. Another valuable asset of the
book is that Dr. Rambo has provided URL web page addresses, phone
numbers, and addresses to get additional specific information on
what has been discussed in each chapter. That is very handy for the readers. My suggestion for those who don't know what gift to get their loved ones is to buy this book. Parents will not regret
buying and reading this book.

Dr. Rambo's I Know My Child Can Do Better is a marvelous book for young parents wanting to help their children in school ---- caring, concrete, humorous, and totally free of jargon and diagnostic labels.
We bought three copies to pass on, and, after seeing the book and reading the enticing table of contents, so did six of our friends who wanted to lend a helping hand to their school-age grandchildren.

I cannot recommend this book enough. It offers sensible and practical solutions to many of the most common issues children have in school, such as boredom, popularity, and academic frustration. And it discusses the unspoken rules that exist in many schools (how much parents are really expected to help with homework, etc.). I only wish I had read it years earlier.
