My Take on the Book
This is the type of book that is set up to provide you with the tools to assist your child in being successful in school. I loved how practical the book was. As a person who works in education I always enjoy books that make you feel like you are sitting with listening to the expert and in this book you get that exact feeling. As I was reading through this I could see some of the main mistakes that I have made in the past and that I could possible continue making as I work with my girls on homework, so I was glad to have read this and received the valuable insights and resources that the author provides as I was already starting to see myself getting frustrated when my eldest challenges us on doing homework. All-in-all this was a great book that all parents will love!
