5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond First Grade Academics, October 6, 2000

By	P. Glick "Fictitious Facts" (Cupertino, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is just loaded with good content for parents who have children of ALL ages. Yes, it certainly covers the basic teachings of first graders, but more so than that! It shows opportunities for parents to teach in everyday circumstances as an adjunct to classroom learning.

"Teach Your Children Well" covers how to communicate to our children in ways that convey respect, acceptance, and understanding. There are delightful tips and nuggets thru out for things to do, places to see, & references to other helpful books.

I think if all parents read and used this book as the manual of childrearing, our hard working teachers' job would be easier, the children more receptive to learning, and our homes a little less chaotic. I highly recommend this book. Buy it in Kindergarten, but use through high school. It's never too late to teach our children and for us to learn good parenting skills!

5.0 out of 5 stars Have More Fun, Save Money, Bond Better!, October 11, 2000

By	Marci A Strange (Pacifica, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Author shows us how we can have more fun with our children, do it inexpensively, and build better relationships as a result of good parenting habits. Lots of resources and great ideas you can read in one night. Not only does the author tell you "How" to teach your children easier, but also "Why" kids do the things they do so it all makes sense. If every parent read this book, they would see that they don't need to go broke "buying" their children unnecessary toys, but that just spending valuable, quality time with them is the best gift of all. Great work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, Specific Advice, October 5, 2000

By A Customer

Mr. Davidson provides very helpful, specific advice in this book. I especially like his frequent recommendations for other books appropriate for first graders and his "projects" for kids to help them grasp first grade concepts. Just reading the shaded boxes gave me lots of good ideas. Reading the whole book convinces me that the author is a good teacher and cares about kids. I only wish he had provided an e-mail address so I could write to him and thank him for writing this book.
