Negative Positive
Title: Obvious and Common Platitudes
Review: Competent advice on raising children to be responsible and successful individuals is invaluable, and Wayne Bryan is easily qualified as a tennis pro having raised two very successful tennis players. The bulk of the book focuses on the efforts needed to steer children in the right direction using positive reinforcement, goal setting, and motivation through encouraging passions.The book loses some luster on the quality of its advice which ranges from the well known to the obvious. I'd question any parent who did not already understand the value of positive environments, inspiring passion in children, and steering kids away from drugs and other harmful habits. The challenge is how to help promote these ideals constantly, an area where Bryan's book is lacking.
