THE LEARNING HABIT

Robert Pressman Rebecca Jackson Stephanie Donaldson-Pressman

A Groundbreaking Approach to Homework and Parenting...

A fresh look at the role that homework can and should play in helping children succeed.

Homework gets a bad rap these days. Overscheduled kids (and parents) complain that it’s pointless busy work, without academic value. The truth is, homework offers our kids the opportunity to learn much more than what will be “on the test.” Presenting eight critical skills kids need to harness the true value of homework, as well as a 21-day challenge for parents and students, The Learning Habit combines rigorous research with time-tested hands-on techniques to help kids thrive, academically and beyond.

Stephanie Donaldson-Pressman is a psychotherapist, consultant, and internationally recognized author in the field of family therapy. Rebecca Jackson is a writer, neuro-psychological assistant, and published author. Dr. Robert M. Pressman is a Board Certified Family Psychologist, a practicing pediatric psychologist, and Director of Research at the New England Center for Pediatric Psychology.

Comments

Three authors—a psychotherapist, a pediatric psychologist, and a neuropsychological educator who are all parents—have compiled a guide that bamboozled moms and dads will welcome. This volume, which is based on a three-year study—the largest study of family routines ever conducted—is chock-full of examples from real families sorting through tough parenting decisions and provides valuable counsel.

Wonderful book. The synthesis of case studies, interviews and impeccable research makes this a great read and a helpful and user-friendly manual for parents.

As kids rely more and more on digital forms of communication, their verbal skills are eroding. If you are raising kids, this book is an essential tool.
