This book will make you feel happier about yourself as a parent, and calmer about your child as a person. Best of all? This is how to raise children who will succeed in life!</FONT></I></B></CENTER> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <P><TABLE BORDER=0 COLS=1 WIDTH="90%" ALIGN="CENTER"> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="2covers.jpg" ALT="Hyper-Parenting and The Over-Scheduled Child" HEIGHT=279 WIDTH=272 align=LEFT><B><FONT FACE="Verdana" COLOR="#3333FF" SIZE=-1>Lists and schedules, meetings and appointments, that need to be the best no matter what - doesn’t it sound like your life? If it’s not - it’s your child’s. Parenting today has come to resemble a relentless To-Do list. Even parents with the best intentions strive to micromanage every detail of their kid’s lives and live in constant fear that their child will underperform in any area - academic, social, athletic. The fact is, parenting should not consume every last bit of our time, money and energy. It’s not good for us as parents, and it’s potentially dangerous for our children and their healthy development.</FONT></B> <P><B><FONT FACE="Verdana" COLOR="#3333FF" SIZE=-1>Luckily, there is a cure for hyper-parenting. In their groundbreaking book, renowned child psychiatrist <I><A HREF="abouttheauthors.html">Alvin Rosenfeld, M.D.</A></I>, and longtime family-issues journalist <I><A HREF="abouttheauthors.html#wise">Nicole Wise</A></I> identify and attack this rampant phenomenon. With the strength of their combined professional and personal experience, Rosenfeld and Wise tell you how to identify the hyper-parent in yourself and prescribe clear, comforting steps to make parenting a happier and healthier experience for you and your child.   <A HREF="paper.htm"><I>READ MORE...</I></A></FONT></B></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <CENTER> <P><B><FONT FACE="Verdana" COLOR="#FF0000">CLICK HERE TO READ THESE ARTICLES ON "HYPER-PARENTING"<BR> AND "THE OVER-SCHEDULED CHILD"</FONT></B></CENTER> <TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=5 CELLPADDING=9 COLS=3 WIDTH="60%" ALIGN="CENTER"> <TR> <TD ALIGN=CENTER><a href="ftwayne.htm"><img SRC="ftwayne.gif" ALT="Ft.
