Synopsis

A new book from the bestselling co-author of Chicken Soup for the Indian SoulAll parents have great dreams for their children, stretching even beyond available resources to provide an environment that will facilitate their optimal development. Yet, more often than not, they find themselves frustrated, exhausted, uncertain of their efforts as well as their children's potential. They find their children struggling withow self-esteem,oneliness, boredom and obesity and suffering from stress, burn-out and depression. Children do not come with a manual and the jargon of work on parenting is often conflicting. Roots and Wings is a handbook for parents that addresses all the usual conflicts and dilemmas: how to manage a balance between freedom and structure, space and control, being a mentor and a friend, between the expectations from a child and their own talents. It is a book that aims to give children roots so they can stand firm and wings that they may soar high to achieve their potential.With in-depth research and interviews with personalities such as Kumar Mangalam Birla, Jaya Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Jogen Chowdhary, Mrinal Sen, Hemant Trivedi, Kiran Bedi, Javed Akhtar and Sanjeev Kapoor, Roots and Wings is an ideal guide that will aid parents in helping their child manoeuvre theong and writhing road to adulthood.
