JUST PUBLISHED! Pressured Parents,Stressed-Out Kids: Dealing with Competition While Raising a Successful Child by Kathy Seal and Wendy Grolnick,PhD Parental anxiety is peaking today because of the hypercompetition in our children's world. So parents are constantly faced with this dilemma: you don't want to apply pressure -- yet what might happen to your child if she doesn't take Soccer for Toddlers – or that extra SAT prep course? Instead of critically shaking our fingers at parents, Wendy and I show them how to relieve that pressure, by staying highly involved with their children, while encouraging their autonomy. That in turn will allow the child's intrinsic motivation to flourish, leading to high achievement. “Dr. Wendy Grolnick and Kathy Seal have done stressed-out parents a great service, and I wish I had had this book when my kids were little! They take on the ‘pressure cooker’ environment our children face—and how we inadvertently contribute to it—and show how to let kids live and learn at their own pace. I wish all parents could read this book!” —Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, PhD, H. Rodney Sharp Professor, School of Education, University of Delaware, and award-winning writer of Einstein Never Used Flash Cards and How Babies Talk |
