A portion of this book is about finding the right school environment for your child and then working in partnership with the school. However, there is little specific advice on how to know what learning characteristics and gifts your child has or which might need direct support. References are made to other resources, but the title and description make this seem like the major theme of the book.

Instead, Robinson provides an overview of child development, general parenting advice about getting children outdoors and such, and a survey of our current education system. It reads like a series of lectures. If you are new to parenting and haven't given it much thought, you'll learn something--and you might read Robinson's [book:The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything|4224060] to understand the importance of recognizing uniqueness in each child. If you are just starting to think about your child and schools, you'll get a general overview.

Thanks, NetGalley, for an advance review copy in exchange for an honest review.
