Description

To help panicky parents deal with the disturbing emotions stirred up by our competitive society, and to give them scientific knowledge of their children's growing years, this book offers an illuminating and accessible guide to channelling competitive anxiety into positive parenting. The authors encourage parents to avoid pushing and pressurising their offspring, instead turning fear into calm guidance. Reassuring and empathic, the book shows parents how to avoid burn-out that afflicts so many in our high octane society helping them to raise children who thrive and excel.
