Dr. Fari Amini and Dr. Richard Lannon, the authors draw on new scientific discoveries that
prove what mothers have known instinctively since the beginning of time: love is paramount
to their child's life-long success. We have asked Dr. Lewis, co-author of the book, to
share with us how our current educational and parenting methods are damaging our
children--and what we must do now, to help them develop into independent, wise,
successful, and most importantly, happy adults!

or lead to, poor grades, reading, writing, or math difficulties, school
attendance problems, poor self concept, or a lack of motivation,
causing a student to become "at-risk" for academic failure.
