A must read for any parent who puts value in letting their kids become who they really are and avoiding the pitfall of overplanning their kids' lifes. I found it a relief to read Honore's point of view because it made me realize I don't have to plan every moment of every day of my one-year-olds' life! He makes a point of how important it is we give our kids room to breathe in order to encourage creative thinking. Letting them make decisions for themselves is one way to nurture their self worth and allowing them to discover their potential. http://www.randomhouse.ca/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780676978414 There is an excellent, related book by Canadian Carl Honore “Under Pressure
