Excellent

Received book in condition stated and in a timely manner. Would buy again from this seller.

Excellent Information

I have been an educator and a parent for over thirty years. I have read many printed documents on homework issues. This book has excellent information and is the best book I have seen so far on the issue. I would recommend it to anyone looking for information and/or help in assisting children and/or teachers with the homework issues we face today.This book would be an excellent source for parents, teachers and/or administrators. I would hope to find it in every public and school library in the country.

Saw Dr. Zenatll on CBS NEWS today. Her book is great.

This book will help your child and you feel much better about the homework process. Dr. Zentall and Dr. Goldstein really put homework in the right perspective. Teach your child how to do it and be available to assist if necessary.

I highly recommend this book!

I wish I had this book when my older daughter was in elementary school. It would have saved us a lot of headaches. The authors present a very good argument for the importance of homework and give concrete directions for parents to follow which teaches children how to do homework on their own. We made a "Learning Station" for our child as the book suggests and my son loves it.

A treasure trove of homework strategies.

I am sure this will be the most useful book I have purchased in years. Homework time at our house has always been a two hour nightly ordeal, complete with crying, screaming and lots of drama. Seven Steps to Homework Success contains just the strategies I have needed to understand to help my child learn to do homework on his own. I'm sure this book will make a big difference for our family and in my child's schoolwork.
