Synopsis

Your School-Age Child, the third in Dr. Kutner's Parent & Child Series, covers everything from preparing your child for the first day of school to handling the peer pressures of preadolescence. Dr. Kutner also shares wisdom on how to solve problems at home, among friends, between siblings, and between you and your child. His practical and sage advice includes how to spot learning problems early; help your child make and keep friends; avoid spoiling your child; confront lying, cheating, and stealing; put a stop to tattling; deal with sports - how to nurture an athlete or help a klutz; and handle hero worship, especially when you don't approve of your child's hero!
Helpful quick-reference boxes serve as "tool kits" for good parenting, and Dr. Kutner's advice is rich with lively anecdotes from his own experience with children - as both psychologist and parent.
