Raising Children...

Judith Warner reviews an important book in the Sunday New York Times about the mania for perfection that pervades so much childrearing in these times. It will require a paradigm shift for real change to take place. In the meantime, as this relates to your son's or daughter's college application essays, I want parents to know that when I work with students, the essays come from them, not me. I help them find their voices; I don't loan them mine. I've had decades of training in this, teaching fiction writing and creative nonfiction writing, which is all about helping writers find their authentic voices. If you have questions or concerns, drop me a line. ebenedict@earthlink.net. Thanks. ~ Liz
