Summary: School?
Review: First of all, a child shouldn't be wasting his/her time doing homework. After countless hours of doing homework and even more hours of studying to achieve grades, your child (or you) will soon realize that grades are absolutely meaningless. A bigger shock will come when he/she (or you) realizes that his/her grades will not perdict real world success and also has nothing to do with real world success. But the saddest thing of all...After working so hard to achieve the grades, your child (or you) will realize that his/her natural curiosity has been destroyed.

Summary: Common sense. . .
Review: Here's the plan: 1. know what your children's homework is (communicate with their teachers) 2. stay on top of whether they're doing it 3. use a system of "consequences" (reward/punishment) to reinforce their study behaviors. OK---I just saved you $12.95! This book is only simple common sense; there is NOTHING innovative or helpful inside.

Summary: Proven to work!!
Review: I have "Don't Be Afraid to Discipline". I am a teacher and I recommend it to all of my parents. They buy it, read it, and thank me for recommending something that helps to shed some light on what they do or not do and how to do things better.Kids need limits and parents need someone to remind them of all that good parenting of years ago. One last thought, I have attended some of her seminars personally. Made me a better teacher!!

Review: Saw your interview on the TODAY SHOW and it really made sense. I read the book in one sitting and fully agree with the idea that kids need their parents' help and involvement each day to keep them on track in school. I look forward to my sons having great grades this year in school!
