About the book: 2018 / The season of parent-teacher conferences has arrived. Already in kindergarten we are told that the most important thing now is preparation for school, and at school, the most important thing is preparation for the Unified State Exam. And it doesn’t matter how many more years we wait for this moment. Even the head teacher of an elementary school talks about the Unified State Exam at a meeting for parents of future first-graders. As if nothing more important could happen in eighteen years of life. It’s as if all childhood is a period when you need to prepare for exams. A book by teacher, psychologist and author of the best-selling book series “Lazy Mom” Anna Bykova about how to survive the “wonderful school years.” Without neuroses, without violence, without parental inferiority complex and without the need to drink valerian.
