Dear Parent: This guide will explain what you can expect from the book, how it is structured, and the educational principles on which it is based. It will also walk you through the book’s major components and how to implement them. As the parent, you will need to provide certain things for your teen or preteen to gain the book’s full value. The Parent’s Role in Fostering Good Studentship Every conscientious parent wants their child to do well in school, but not all parents know how to make that happen. They tell their child to study hard and to take school seriously, but that usually isn’t enough. They then may resort to nagging, scolding, or threatening, which only makes things worse. Many loving parents had trouble in school themselves and really don’t know the solution to their child’s problems. Kids need three things to turn around a losing streak in the classroom: 1) They need to be motivated, to be given reasons why they should study and work hard. 2) They need to be shown that they can be successful if they do this. 3) And they need to be shown how to do it: what studying and working hard in school actually means. This book will address all three issues. But by itself, it is only a book, a bunch of information buried between two pieces of cardboard. To get the knowledge out of the book and into the head and heart of your student, a facilitator is needed. That facilitator is you. (Or it could be another adult whom your child respects acting in the role of a mentor. The Student’s Advantage: Your Guide to Getting the Most out of School and Creating a Fabulous Future will empower students who have been struggling in middle and high school to maximize their capabilities and will inspire good students to transform themselves into great students. All too often students do not really understand why they need to learn. With US academic performance in decline, particularly in science and math, the time has come to tackle the question of why students are not doing better, and to emphasize to students the why of learning, making clear to them how education will affect their adult lives. The Student's Advantage: Your Guide to Getting the Most out of School and Creating a Fabulous Future is a practical guide that will motivate middle and high school students by providing a vital understanding of the keys to succeeding in school, the importance of investigating potential career interests, and the need to take an active role in preparing for the years ahead. The Student's Advantage demonstrates through dramatic examples the indisputable power of motivation and commitment. The Student's Advantage is not exclusively a goal-setting workbook, merely a manual of study habits, or just a career-search guidebook. It draws together all of these crucial areas in a highly interactive and engaging manner, yet remains a straightforward reference that will inspire and motivate. The Student's Advantage aims to give students momentum on the road to academic success. Each comprehensive chapter is easily referenced, with the Student’s Success Roadmap offering corresponding exercises. Practical devices like the Seven Learning Secrets and overviews of various careers are presented in a candid and accessible fashion. Thanks.

When children lose someone they love, they lose part of their very identity. Life, as they knew it, will never be quite the same. The world that once felt dependable and safe may suddenly seem a frightening, uncertain place, where nobody understands what they're feeling. In this deeply sympathetic book, Phyllis R. Silverman and Madelyn Kelly offer wise guidance on virtually every aspect of childhood loss, from living with someone who's dying to preparing the funeral; from explaining death to a two year old to managing the moods of a grieving teenager; from dealing with people who don't understand to learning how and where to get help from friends, therapists, and bereavement groups; from developing a new sense of self to continuing a relationship with the person who died. Throughout, the authors advocate an open, honest approach, suggesting that our instinctive desire to "protect" children from the reality of death may be more harmful than helpful. "Children want you to acknowledge what is happening, to help them understand it," the authors suggest. "In this way, they learn to trust their own ability to make sense out of what they see." Drawing on groundbreaking research into what bereaved children are really experiencing, and quoting real conversations with parents and children who have walked that road, the book allows readers to see what others have learned from mourning and surviving the death of a loved one. In a culture where grief is so often invisible and misunderstood, the wisdom derived from such first-hand experience is invaluable. Filled with compassion and common sense, A Parent's Guide to Raising Grieving Children: Rebuilding Your Family after the Loss of a Loved One offers readers a wealth of solace and sound advice, and even--where one might least expect it--a measure of hope.
