Book Description :

Help Your Child Dream It - and Achieve It! Is your child reluctant to try new things? Does she seem content bringing home average grades? Does he lack the initiative to get a job? In an age of instant gratification with very little effort, many young people are unable to move forward because they're not sure how - or if they even want to. Now, in Drive, nationally renowned educator Dr. Janine Caffrey shows how children can have big dreams for themselves and the motivation to accomplish them on their own. Designed to get kids off the couch and into the world, Drive reveals the secrets of raising a self-starter, whether your child is in middle school or is a young adult who has moved back home. Dr. Caffrey outlines her nine powerful techniques proven to beat boredom and foster resourcefulness, with thoughtful suggestions for how to: Get your child excited about learning; Encourage her to seek opportunities beyond her comfort zone; Use rewards and consequences that get results; Be an effective resource in the college application process; Inspire him to take charge of his own life Soon your child will have the determination to finish projects, take pride in achievements, be better able to cope with uncertainty and change, and have healthier relationships. Filled with quizzes, anecdotes, and practical strategies, Drive helps parents turn ''Generation Me'' into ''Generation Move.''
