My new book for parents

I have written a book for parents that was published late last year. The book gives information on how parents can help their children prepare for college. It has information on how to prepare for the SAT and ACT. In addition, the book goes into detail about what skills people need in college and how to develop them. Feel free to comment or ask questions on the book.

Here is a link to the press release for the book: http://www.knowledgeguides.net/pipkin/Press%20Release.pdf
