Drop the worry ball - Alex Russell

Learn how to: Understand parent–child dynamics Resist the pressure to over–parent Help kids worry for themselves Build effective relationships with outside authorities Manage ADHD, anxiety and other special needs Embrace failing as learning, not parental incompetence " Drop the Worry Ball is full of common–sense strategies for parents worn out from worrying about their kids. One of the smartest parenting books on the shelf. A must–read." — Jennifer Kolari, author of Connected Parenting
