Summary: Excellent advice-great for gifts
Comment: As granmother you may wonder why I am writing a review of a book that is no longerin my area of need.There is useful advice that can be put to good use in granparenting areas. It is also my gift of choice for all who are in need of good sound common sense voices of experience. It is most helpful in the area of life today. Education,hands on help for parents to know how to approach gifted children and those who are only seen as gifted by their grandmothers. I found each area covered to be of value.If only this book had been around when my children were young.

Summary: Advice the Ancient Greeks could have used
Comment: The original Mentor had a tough job: taking care of the teen-aged Telemachus for ten years while father Odysseus roamed the world and mother Penelope stuck to her loom. But modern parents have an even tougher job: guiding their children, for about 18 years each, through the wonders and pitfalls of the 21st century. Luckily for them, they now have this book to assist them with that heroic task. The authors' witty and wry advice can help parents steer between the Scylla of neglect and the Charybdis of over-involvement. Had Odyseuss followed the authors' advice, maybe his son, as well as the family dog, would have recognized him when he finally came home.

Summary: A warm, wise, practical guide to guiding your child
Comment: The authors provide the best possible example of mentoring support with this readable, thoughtful, creative, and practical guide for parents. Perhaps this book's greatest gift is its ideas for parents on discovering and nurturing each child's special talents, not just sports and school and arts, but talents like leadership, empathy, problem-solving, and humor. With engaging real-life examples and detailed resources for more information, this book is a treasure for parents and children.
