Mozart in the womb, Baby Einstein DVDs for newborns, and ipad learning apps for toddlers—from the moment the umbilical cord is cut, today's parents feel trapped in a never-ending race to ensure their child is the brightest and the best.

With constant testing in schools also raising the stakes, how can we tell when hot-housing children is actually doing more harm than good? In this ground-breaking and provocative book, Tanith Carey presents the latest research on what this contest is doing to the next generation.

Packed with insights, experts' tips, real experiences, and resources, this book is a timely guide to safeguarding your child's well-being in a competitive world, so they can grow into the happy, emotionally balanced people they really need to be.
