This is not the usual instructive parenting book. It is not the usual, instructive, new-ideas-on-education book. This book explains through numerous stories, the emotional roller coaster ride children endure. How we treat our children has a profound influence on every aspect of their lives. The consequences are far-reaching and may result in poor academic performance. When so many children are hurting, it is time to ask ourselves why and take action. We cant be afraid to tread on new grounds and attempt new, untried solutions. It wont be easy to change bad habits but giving our children goals and dreams might prove to be an invaluable investment for the future.

This book is an educators perspective on why schools and students academic performance are weakening.
