There is so much being discussed out there on what can go wrong for your child. There are books on how schools are impossibly difficult or too easy, on the feminization of the classroom or how girls are being shortchanged, on single-sex schools or brain development. Every week there's another guru telling us what we should do with our kids. And I think it fuels a lot of anxiety on the part of parents.
