Synopsis: A commonsense book that helps parents help their children get the most out of learning and school by indicating what should be happening at given levels of the child's education.
 
FROM CHAPTER ONE:
 
"And so it is clear that the more parents can do to help their children reach full potential in school, the more likely the children are to find fulfillment in the competitive era ahead.
 
This is a book meant to help parents achieve that goal; it is a blueprint for success. Parents must start early to groom their children for school. By the time a child is three years old, a substantial portion of his or her intelligence has already developed. And by the age of six, according to some experts, the child’s whole future is determined."
