With over 70 combined years in teaching, administration, and as a child psychologist, the authors (Drs. Brenner and Oster) want to share their experiences and insights to help parents become accomplished advocates for their children in the school system. This educational guide will help the reader develop an awareness of how to assist struggling children in school, and how parents can assist their children by becoming aware of their students worries and learning styles. They will show you how to advocate for your children by cooperating with their teachers and educational teams to make an impact on your students' abilities to enjoy school. Throughout the book, Drs. Brenner and Oster will explore various "roadblocks" that may be interfering with your child's development. You will become more aware of educational and psychological language that will empower you to offer ideas to the school. Examples of actual problems and real stories will be highlighted and how difficult situations can be approached to improve the everyday functioning and motivation of children who are underachieving and frustrated in the classroom. Furthermore, this book will offer tips and strategies that should be effective during informal and formal meetings with your children's teachers.
