Overview

"You Are Your Own Best Teacher! provides a remarkable variety of teachable antidotes to the punishing forces bearing down on youngsters from harmful marketing, the insidious grip of ""virtual reality,"" and the tyranny of peer groups. Apprehensive parents and burdened teachers will delight in the lessons of this book for tweens (nine to twelve-year-olds). It will spark their innate curiosity, imagination, and idealism. Tweens, who are whipsawed by relentless distractions, profit-driven manipulations, and oncoming addictions, are guided toward elevating their own sense of significance, protection, and realizable achievements. Through this process of discovery, they explore wider frames of reference with roles inside and outside the family environment. With a calming sense of humor, Nader's You Are Your Own Best Teacher! will bring out the best in our inherently eager youngsters. This book showcases refreshing connections between parents and children and reveals many serious shortcomings of formal education, which can be easily remedied."
