Just what I needed,

This review is from: Raising Your Child to Be a Champion in Athletics, Arts, and Academics (Paperback)
I don't know Mr. Bryan, and I am not a parent who has a personal history of competitive anything, let alone winning in competitions. But now I am faced raising two children who do compete, one in drama and one in tennis. I felt lost parenting these kids, and was blindly doing what I thought was right. But I always questioned myself. In this world of highly competitive sports, academics, everything, I was trying to keep my perspective and make sure my kids were happy and fulfilled with whatever they chose, yet supporting and nourishing their competitive drive. I found Mr. Bryan's book extremely helpful. I loved it from the beginning with the first and foremost part of his formula being FUN! He presents a very grounded formula that I am very comfortable with. The book is simple, and the formula is primarily explained through examples, yet I know I will read and reread it to fully incorporate these ideas into my parenting. The chapter on what to do when your kids loses has helped me tweak my response a great deal, and to the obvious benefit to my kids. I also particularly liked his emphasis on good sportsmanship and volunteerism. This is about raising champion kids that are happy and kind -- First Class Champions.

This review is from: Raising Your Child to Be a Champion in Athletics, Arts, and Academics (Paperback)
We have a 1-year old boy and a 3-year old girl so my wife and I read this book with great interest. I am happy to say that Bryan and Woodburn created a great book. It is easy to read and extremely motivating. You can read the entire book in about two days, because the tone is conversational and the examples are entertaining.The authors have raised children that are truly champions, in athletics and academics. Their tips for bringing out the best in children make great sense, and I am excited to incorporate their suggestions into my own family's upbringing. Time to throw away the video games and focus on constructive activities that the kids enjoy. This book is for parents willing to get involved in their kids' lives and teach them to be respectful while having fun at the same time.

A very good guide for concerned parents,

This review is from: Raising Your Child to Be a Champion in Athletics, Arts, and Academics (Paperback)
This is a very good book, and I have been recommending it to other parents, especially with children in competitive tennis. We tennis parents are rather all alone, and we need help. This books is comforting and is a great source of help. However, a reader should take care not take the book too seriously. For example, it is impossible to be positive and praise your child all the time w/o criticizing... there is a limit. Also, I wish Wayne gave more examples of "side door" to inspire. No book is perfect, but this is a great book for parents who want their children to be successful in life and become a champion!
