Current statistics suggest that more children than ever before are
struggling academically, emotionally, and behaviorally in school. In
turn, schools are recognizing that the foundation of well-adjusted
students lies beyond the classroom setting, in the vital principles that
parents provide for their children long before they enter kindergarten.
As this need increases, today's busy parents are seeking resources to
understand the educational system and to interact positively with their
children and their children's teachers. They want most importantly to
guide their youngsters to develop a resilient mind-set and help them
adapt to the challenges they face in school and later on in their lives.
