Stacie P. (froot) - reviewed Kids First: Five Big Ideas for Transforming Children's Lives and America's Future on + 178 more book reviews
This book is for all those parents in nursery school that try to get their kid to skip grades because they think their kid is better than everyone elses. Seriously. This book is a guide to help the people that want to social elite their kid early. The intro alone is obnoxious: FROM CRIB TO COLLEGE. I wonder if the author actually even believes half of what he wrote. While there are few good points in this how to revamp your parental thinking book, I can not say that his main points are crutial in the transforming your kid's life process. If this book does anything, it points out the really obsurd parenting that so many of us mock. Don't waste your time with this one. Be normal. Let your kid play. If you want to save for college fine, but I do not think it wise to spend your whole lives worrying about your kids financial future. At some point in their lives they need to work too, not sponge off all your hard earned money socked away for them.
