Going to School

"Going To School," by Craig T. Ramey, Ph.D., and Sharon L. Ramey, Ph.D. covers many issues parents face from the preschool years through the early elementary grades including: how children learn; how family life hinders or supports school success; what to do about attention disorders and learning disabilities; why and how parents should be involved at school; how and when to use tutors and special classes; discipline; building good study and work habits; choosing, making and keeping good friends; correcting all manner of problems early; and much, much, more. It is the 2nd book in a series of parenting guides by the Rameys which are being published by the Goddard Press, Inc.

This book is a landmark resource filled with proven strategies for parents to prepare children to start school and to succeed in the early years. Sharon Ramey and Craig Ramey base their recommendations on extensive research including their own just-completed National Transition to School Demonstration Project, which studied more than 10,000 children for five years. In this book they share their invaluable findings.

Craig and Sharon Ramey are two of the most highly regarded child development researchers in the country. They are widely considered to have done the most extensive work to date on what permanently enhances development in young children.
