Great for my grandchildren,
By Judith (Dobbs Ferry, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raising Children Who Soar: A Guide to Healthy Risk-Taking in an Uncertain World (Paperback)
This was a wonderful and insightful book. It addressed issues that I never thought about when I was a mother. Having read it , I am giving it to my children for my grandchildren. This is a generation that is even more competitive than ours. The pressures are greater and this book offers a perspective that alleviates some of the angst that permeates parents today. It offers great insight for our children bringing up less stressful children.
