Schoolchildren of the 'Lazy Mom'

The season of parent meetings is here. In kindergarten, they already tell us that the most important thing now is preparing for school, and at school, that the most important thing is preparing for the Unified State Exam. And it doesn’t matter how many more years we have to wait for that moment. Even the deputy head of the elementary school talks about the Unified State Exam at the meeting for parents of future first-graders. As if nothing more important can exist in eighteen years of life. As if all childhood is a period when you need to prepare for exams.

A book by teacher, psychologist, and author of the bestselling series “Lazy Mom,” Anna Bykova, about how to survive the “wonderful school years.” Without neuroses, without violence, without a parental inferiority complex, and without the need to drink valerian.
