Average Customer Rating:

Helpful book for back to school!

Customer Rating:

I just read an article about Stacy DeBroff in the Atlanta Journal Constitution where she talked about getting organized for Back to School. I bought this book after reading some great tips she mentioned, and just love it! The book gives all kinds of advice about how parents can be involved in helping their kids with school. She talks about a variety of school-related issues, from homework and parent-teacher conferences to bullies and learning disabilities. She really covers all areas of school and gives unique suggestions that I would never think up on my own!

Support for your child at school

School dynamics have significantly changed and parents are facing new situations. There's a new level of pressure at the elementary age from the restructuring of the child's schedule to the level of academic pressure. This book is written with clear information for parents and practical advice on being an advocate for your child. From simple conversation with your child's teacher, to solving a significant challenge, this book provides parents with ways to approach teachers so that you can work together in a positive way. The author gives parents steps to take at home to stay informed on where your child is and how to support his/her learning at school. Throughout this book, the insights from teachers provide clever insights to help parents understand their teachers' perspectives.

Great Book for Parents

Customer Rating:

I really liked this book. It has many insights and tips for parents with children in school. It included hints and tips for things that I had never even thought about before. The only thing that I don't like about this book is that it does not include much about small children - pre-k and K ... for those with kids in elementary school - this is THE book for you! I also love love love the Mom Book ... it is like my Bible! LOL!!

Must-have for the new school year!	Customer Rating:
Stacy has written a remarkably practical, clear and readable guide for parents trying to help their kids navigate the sometimes choppy waters of elementary school. I found extremely helpful suggestions for dealing with situations with which I have struggled - as well as great ideas for the future. Thank you, Stacy, for this terrific book!

Required reading for all parents!	Customer Rating:
Thank goodness Stacy has pulled together this guidebook. School has changed quite a bit since most of the age 30 and up crowd went to elementary school and this can be scary to a parent. Stacy has found the best advice and I am grateful she worked so hard to teach others what she herself learned!
