a Rimm's Smart Parenting,  Dr. Sylvia Rimm, contributing correspondent for NBC's Today show and the host of a popular public radio call-in show, presents her remedy for preventing children's early "shut down" to learning  by providing a comprehensive, down-to-earth guide for  all parents who want their children to be confident, successful, and independent in meeting the challenges of the classroom and life.  

Based on her twenty years of clinical experience working with families and the thousands of questions from concerned parents she has answered, Dr. Rimm shows that encouraging achievement in the home is often a difficult task and even the most experienced parents need a game plan. As Rimm argues, "Smart parent planning begins before birth and extends to young adulthood.  Parents can't control their children's environment entirely, but they can set main directions that virtually assure achievement."
