Parenting can seem overwhelming. Most parents want what is best for their children, but few have the time, energy, or background knowledge to take a deep dive into an ocean of scientific studies every time a decision has to be made. This book translates educational research, from Piaget to the latest neuroscience article, into actionable strategies for parents. The book is a "guerilla guide" in the sense that some recommendations may seem counterintuitive, radical, or contrary to popular practice. However, these strategies for home and school are supported by research and years of practical experience. What' s a Parent to Do? is written for parents who want to know what to do, what not to do, and why.
An enlightening and interesting read that made me reflect upon and evaluate the choices I have made and will make for my daughter. I wish I would' ve had a copy at the onset of parenthood. --Kimberly Stormer, Teacher, Fleming Middle School, Houston Independent School District Lawrence Baines has done the work of digging deeply into complex areas of learning research, and of cleaning and polishing what he has found. This is a book that every parent, every relative of a young person, every childcare provider, and every teacher should read and use. --Pamela Sissi Carroll, Dean and Professor, University of Central Florida This engaging book contains crucial information all parents should have. I particularly like the way it shows how the experiences children have both at home and in school can make a huge difference regarding the extent to which they will succeed later in life. --Hani Morgan, Professor of Education, University of Southern Mississippi What' s a parent to do? is a must-read book for parents, professionals, researchers, advocates, and lawmakers interested in providing quality education and future success for every child. --Sekhar Pindiprolu, Professor of Special Education, The University of Toledo
