may be the most important subject they don’t teach in school or college. And among the most challenging, at least emotionally. Many writings on parenting can make you feel inadequate if you’re not perfectly consistent, ever striking the balance between setting limits and providing freedom, with no helicoptering Tiger Momming allowed!
Today's and the next few installments in my PsychologyToday.com series focuses on potent parenting practices that are realistic in the real world, what I call doables.
Because so much parenting literature focuses on birth-to-five, this series will focus on K-12.
Today’s installment is on choosing your child’s school. That's probably the most potent single action a parent can take. Make the one-time effort to get your child into a well-suited school and you’ve gone a long way to ensuring your child gets an appropriate education and has a peer group you feel good about.
