Motivating your Kids from Crayons to Career by Cheri Fuller. It cautions parents not to push children. It suggests that pressure to succeed, learning to read, and too-early emphasis on academic subjects places a great deal of stress on children in our society. The book also indicated that early formal learning was not associated with better academic skills later. Late learners caught up with their peers who had learned such skills earlier. Other anecdotal information suggests that children in daycare-with single parents or two working parents-benefit from preschool, while children with one parent at home full time actually did slightly better in kindergarten if they had not gone to preschool.

Great information within on preparing your children for success at every age. Written by the author of "The Way They Learn" (about learning styles). This book was just as useful.
