Review:

"Drs. Zentall and Goldstein have done a tremendous service for all families with school-age children, and especially for those for whom school homework time has become an incessant battlefield with their children. The techniques here are well-grounded in the scientific research and relatively easy to implement. Indeed, the methods concentrate heavily on incentives, approval, appreciation, and respect for children and their level of academic abilities and study-skills. This is a truly useful compendium of effective methods for making homework time effective, successful, and enjoyable." -- Russell A.
