Synopsis
We all dream of having children who can, for lack of a better way to say it, get on with it and do well in life. A curiosity about life and a love of learning can be the attributes that ensure this goal. How can parents foster this kind of spirit in their children?Explaining her model for motivating children through colorful real-life examples, expert Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer shows how, from the start, we can create a climate at home that fosters self-motivation and encourages self-managed achievement across a range of skills-from study habits to making friends. Full of practical strategies and tips to help children help themselves, Raising a Self-Starter is an essential guide for parents who want the best for their children.

Review
Does your child frequently holler "Mommmm!" or "Daaaaaad!" at top volume whenever he or she needs help for the most minor of problems? If so, consider your blood pressure lowered: Raising a Self-Starter is bound to come in enormously handy, whether you're maneuvering through the terrible twos or trying to inspire a high-school student to emerge from a senior slump. Ok, so your kid may not grow up to be a doctor (as we are led to believe the stethoscope-wearing girl on the cover apparently will be), but at least you can arm yourself with these tools and tactics for parents who want to help children help themselves.
Author Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer's advice is thankfully based on common sense and is refreshingly free of the jargon so often found in parenting books these days. She includes a personality quiz so parents can determine what kind of child they're dealing with, and encouragement and discipline can then be effectively tailored to maximize the child's self-motivation. For parents looking for a succinct, practical reference for all ages, Raising a Self-Starter promises to make parenting just a little bit easier.
