Most Likely to Succeed
How to Assure Your Child's Success in School
By Laura Cobb 

      Here is a roadmap that will lead you in teaching your children from birth to the formal academic settings. Laura Cobb draws on her experiences of 20 years in the teaching profession to help you get your children off on the right foot, and give them the head start they deserve, as well as how to deal with the political ramifications of academia.

     Cobb gives you tips for beginning your child's education at home, and how to choose a good preschool. She advises you on carrying the learning process over into everyday life, and a multitude of ways you can get involved in your child's school, and in his extracurricular activities as a volunteer. Cobb gives pointers on how to assess your child's learning ability, possible problem areas, and how to deal with them. She even has advice on seeking scholarships and educational loans for college. Though the style is a bit preachy, the book is very informative and inspiring.

     The second half of the book is devoted to appendices of educational organizations, resources and a bibliography.

     This book would make a wonderful gift for new parents, or parents of young children. With Laura Cobb as your mentor, you can assure your child's success in school, and in later life through a good education with the backing of loving parents.
