Educational Neurosis? How to Choose a School and Not Lose Your Mind

The choice of an elementary school has become a stress for the entire family? It’s no surprise, as you are about to make an important life decision. But the pursuit of prestigious education, the desire to raise a genius or... fulfill one’s own ambitions often prevents parents from seeing the needs and opportunities of the child. Moreover, there is no perfect school for everyone: children are slow and fast, verbal and advanced — each requires its own approach. Renowned family psychologist, mother of eleven children Ekaterina Burmistrova, and journalist, mother of three children Ksenia Knorre Dmitrieva wrote this book to help parents of future first-graders.
