Raising Smart Kids for Dummies: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Raising Smart Kids for Dummies" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

So, you wanna turn Junior into a smarty-pants? What parent doesnt? Thing is, kids nowadays are more independent than ever and arent always receptive to what parents want. In fact, if you tell your kids that studying is good for them, theyre more than likely to mumble, Yeah, sure, in your general direction and head off to do something fun.

Sharpening the minds of your youngsters presents more challenges than climbing Mt. Everest, and the responsibility of making your kids use more of their brain cells can be overwhelming even when you dont encounter resistance. Raising smart kids requires long-term commitment, sacrifice, and diligence not to mention the patience of a saint. And as long as you dont obsess about being the perfect parent, you will be able to enjoy your kids journey of self-discovery right along with them.

But how do you accomplish this? How do you overcome the resistance? How do you tackle the overwhelming task of not only helping your children succeed in school, but also increasing their ability to make their own way in the world? Thats where Raising Smart Kids For Dummies steps in to help.

Written in easy-to-understand terms (and absolutely no slick psycho-babble), this book gives you sound advice on encouraging your kids to set their sights high and achieve success, whether at school, with friends, or in your community. And you dont have to be a new parent to gain insight from this book; experienced parents can reap rewards with the help of this book in their effort to raise fulfilled children.

Heres just a sampling of what youll find in Raising Smart Kids For Dummies:

  • Recognizing the characteristics of smart kids
  • Knowing when to push and when not to
  • Disciplining your kids in a positive way
  • Growing smarter kids from healthier bodies
  • Planning the development of your kids brains: From newborns to teenagers
  • Taking your smart kids beyond high school
  • Eliminating brain drain from school-skipping, drug abuse, and raging hormones
  • Top Ten lists of family characteristics that nurture smart kids, what smart kids read, and resources for bolstering parents confidence
  • Youve heard it said a thousand times: The children are the future. Children have such potential, but rarely live up to it. Why take this chance with your own kids? Make the commitment to prepare your kids for life on their own. With Raising Smart Kids For Dummies, you, too, can achieve success and have a little fun along the way!

    Dedication

    This book is dedicated to all parents who journey down the awesome parenting road, and to their smart children, who will grow up just fine. I also want to thank my hubby, Richard, and daughter, Alison, for giving me the wonderful and wacky family experiences that helped me write this book.

    Authors Acknowledgments

    Every book has a story, and this one involves lots of helpful people. I never would have embarked on this book without the professional guidance of my agent, Grace Freedson; prodding of my hubby, Richard; and support from my experienced writers group: Charlotte Herman, Carolyn Crimi, Mary Jane Miller, Fay Robinson, and Mary Monsell.

    Once into the book, countless folks from various areas lent their expertise: Iris Gimbel, speech and language; Lucy Klocksin, reading; Janet Emmerman, science; Robin Campbell, physical fitness; and Arlene Erlbach, special education. Special thanks go to my teen consultants: Alison Brill (yep, my kid!), Rebecca Targ, and Scott Klocksin. Thanks to Tere Drenth, the editor who fine-tuned the manuscript. I am indebted to you all and to the parents, including my own, who gave me inspiration for this book.
