From the Dust Jacket
Hey Mom! Yes, you know who you are: you’re the one juggling the beeper, the defrosted chicken, the carpool schedule, and your kid’s soccer ball at the same time. You know the score when it comes to recognizing the importance of your child’s education. But with both hands full at home and pressures mounting at work, you don’t know how you’re going to find time to keep up with your child’s progress in school. But don’t give up hope just yet! The Good Mother’s Guide to Raising a Good Student is specially designed to help busy moms of kids age 8-14 take a more active role in their kids’ education. Written in a warm and conversational tone by moms who have been there and back with their own kids, this book provides solid information on building your child’s self-motivation and sense of responsibility, shares helpful hints on creating an environment conductive to study, gives advice on coaxing your child to study and do homework, and offers no-nonsense guidance on facing setbacks, such as bad report cards.
Publishing Info
The Good Mother’s Guide to Raising a Good Student by Vicki Poretta and Marian Edelman Borden. From Castle Books in 2002. The ISBN is 0-7858-1545-7. This hardcover book measures 9-1/2″ x 6-3/8″ and has 184 pages, ending with the Index.
Condition
Enlarge the photo for better view. The dust jacket is in very good condition with lighter storage. The boards have some bumped corners. The pages are in new condition but for some highlighting on the first chapter; no names and no markings after that. From clean, smoke-free home.
Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, create a custom-made cardboard box to ship it in, and send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a two-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
