Abstract: Many young children are in desperate need of help. We offer this book as a solution to many of their problems. The result of a $257,000 federal grant, School Can Wait, a thoroughly documented study, cuts through conventional wisdom to underscore the importance of unbroken continuity of parental attachment wherever possible and the dangers of formal schooling until at least age eight to ten. - Back cover.
