Over-Scheduled Child: Avoiding the Hyper-Parenting Trap Book

So, I do feel like I need to qualify why I read this book, so here it is: I am giving a presentation on the benefits of extracurricular activities verses the dangers of over-scheduling your children. Seeing how I have no experience with this myself, I wanted to see what the experts were saying. It definitely helped me out and likely could be really useful to parents (the intended audience). Even as nothing more than a want-to-be at this point in my life, I did think it was useful not only for my presentation but also helped me develop ideas about what I want to try to do as a parent someday and what I want to avoid doing. It definitely is a book directed at today's generation of parents and it's interesting to see some of the problems parents are creating for themselves and their children. I will say that the beginning of the book is a lot better than the end. After so many pages it starts getting really repetitive.
