Both parents and children face increasing pressure in today's society to be "best". PRESSURED PARENTS, STRESSED-OUT KIDS, by Wendy Grolnick and Kathy Seal, is an accessible guide that offers help for parents to channel competitive anxiety into positive parenting. It shows parents how they can avoid pushing and pressuring their kids, turning their fear into calm guidance.
Washington Post says "This is a first rate book. Even we sports fans who think competition can be good for kids have to admit that this book illuminates those moments when beating the other kid, or besting the family down the block, is distinctly unhealthy. The advice it offers to parents who feel real pain at such moments, who don't know how to control their own longing to succeed through their children, is the most sensible I have ever read." |
