It also emphasizes the importance of the parent’s attitude toward school and learning and how that will affect their children’s academic progress. Modeling a good attitude and hunger for learning will go a long way to support their children’s learning habits.”
“I often tell parents that their children know when they are stressed and when they are not comfortable or confident and they will react to situations based on that. This book is interesting and educational for parents (and teachers as well). It emphasizes that attitude and nurturing your child’s enjoyment and love for learning will go a long way.”
“It also makes sure to let parents know they cannot do it all, if their child is having mental issues such as anxiety, they should seek professional help.”
