Beyond Discourse: Education, the Self, and Dialogue Book

An interesting look at everything I've done wrong and right in raising my boys. I think the things I've done right out weigh any mistakes I've made--like using the T.V. as a babysitter while I was working at home--bad mommy. I've been lucky though because I have three very intelligent boys with pretty good attention spans. They are well behaved at school and most of the time at home. But there is always room for improvement and this book definitely gave me some good insights into their minds and their father's. I kind of skimmed over the ADD and ADHD sections but I think that he had some really important ideas about how boys are being over medicated and what can be done in the classroom and at home for them. Boys need good nutrition, less TV, computer, and video games, and more time spent with them. That was the most important thing that I already knew--they need their parent's time and attention the most.
