The Pressured Child: Helping Your Child Achieve Success in School and in
Life was written to help parents understand the complex journey of children
through school. "The Pressured Child" is, in fact, a presentation for
"pressured parents" who have forgotten what school is actually like.   In
the presentation, Dr. Thompson describes the psychological journey that
children experience during their thirteen years in school. He reminds
parents that children are almost never judging themselves by grades: they
are always monitoring their own development and constantly searching for
three things: connection, recognition and a sense of power. Every child is
constantly developing strategies for coping with the pressures that he or
she feels. 

In this talk, he shares stories from the trenches, taking parents into the
school day experience of children, illuminating how they manage their school
careers and how the best educators and wisest parents can support them along
the way.
