Parent and Teacher's Pet

Each child faces a myriad of obstacles when entering school. This book allows an adult to step into the mind of the child and work from within to ensure a maximized success rate. As a teacher, I was able to incorporate ideas from this book to assist several different types of learners with varied backgrounds. In addition, the inspired writing truly brings the concepts to life. I highly recommend this to any and all parents and educators.
