This is a must-read book for parents of every school-age child.” –Dr. Fran Walfish, Child Psychotherapist and Author, The Self-Aware Parent

“A thoughtful, humorous, and practical guide for parents and anyone interested in child enrichment. Reading and discussing this book will be time well spent.” –Dr. Lea Ybarra, Executive Director, Center for Talented Youth, Johns Hopkins University
