Three-time Paralympian gold medallist Carol Cooke tells her life story with disarming honesty, a keen eye and gentle humour. Born into a Canadian policing family, Carol followed in their footsteps serving on the Toronto Police Force until love called and she moved to Australia. Following a period of feeling unwell, Carol was diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis) and life as she knew it changed forever. Resilient and determined, Carol believes she must embrace whatever happens on her life path and that is exactly what she did. She became a Paralympian and at an age when her friends were looking at retiring she was still training and competing (and winning!) against athletes much younger than her. Her story will entertain and inspire you.

An American educator has responded to Amy Chua's Tiger Mother with observations on Chinese parenting and a guide for raising successful and happy American children. Carol Cooke has drawn from her research and experience with children, parents, and colleagues throughout a diverse career in education to share with parents how to raise kids to be self-motivating, self-reliant, and self-disciplined. This is in sharp contrast to Chinese parenting which emphasizes external controls. This book addresses the self-esteem debate, the teaching of higher level thinking at home, ways to build a supportive, cohesive family as well as the secret to happiness. As an educator, the author focuses less on how we should treat our children and more on what we should teach them. It is a must-read for all who cringed or balked at the Tiger Mother.
