 The Over-Scheduled Child: Avoiding the Hyper-Parenting Trap By Alvin Rosenfeld, M.D., Nicole Wise, Robert Coles From the show: What Kids Really Need and I Want My Child to Be a Star 
From The Publisher
Do you find yourself asking, "Whose life is it anyway?" Parenting today has come to resemble a relentless To-Do list. Even parents with the best intentions strive to micro-manage every detail of their kids' lives and live in constant fear that their child will under-perform in any area — academic, social, athletic. Lists and schedules, meetings and appointments invade every moment — and the need to be the best is a philosophy dominating — and undermining — our own sense of self as well as our children's. In this groundbreaking new book, renowned child psychiatrist Alvin Rosenfeld, M.D., and longtime family — issues journalist Nicole Wise combine personal and professional experience to take action against what they see as our overeager pursuit of perfection. The fact is, parenting should not consume very last bit of our time, money and energy. It's not good for us as parents, and it's potentially dangerous for our children. The clear, comforting steps they prescribe to attack this rampant phenomenon will promote healthier and happier children, and revitalize the parenting experience. 
The hardcover version of this book by the authors is entitled, Hyper-Parenting: Are You Hurting Your Child by Trying Too Hard?
