Recenzje

Being a parent of two younger children, I found this book to be well written and worth the time I spent reading it. I can replace the older parent-help-style books with Raising Children With Grit; it's modern lingo, and fun playlists at the end of each chapter are sure to win parents over.,Rachel Dehning,Seattle Book Review, 1/22/19

About the Author

O autorze

Laila Y. Sanguras is a former middle school teacher. That means she's an expert in managing parent loops, writing accommodations, field trip planning, and navigating the highs and lows of middle school emotions. Plus, she knows some stuff about language arts. Her interest in grit stemmed from observing her students balk at challenging activities in school, yet excel despite struggling in areas outside of school. She received her doctorate in educational psychology from the University of North Texas. It sounds boring, but really it's exciting. A storyteller at heart, she now deeply understands how she can use numbers and words to narrate our experiences.
