		<description><![CDATA[I've had my book, "Please Help Me With My Homework: Strategies for Parents and Caregivers" translated into Spanish. I was advised to have it translated into Castilian Spanish so that it would be universal. So, that's the dialect the book is presently in. I am not Spanish speaking. I had the book translated because of the need for Spanish speaking parents to have a resource to support their students. I do a lot of work with schools that have a significant bi-lingual population and believe this book may help some familes. ]]></description>

<p>Does anyone have an idea as to how I might &#8216;get the word out&#8217; about this valuable resource for Spanish speaking parents and caregivers? I&#8217;d appreciate suggestions. </p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,verdana;">Part autobiography, part self-help guide, <em>The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance</em> explains Waitzkin&#8217;s principles for improving performance in any field. In talking about the book, Waitzkin’s says, “If I have learned anything in a lifetime of world-class competition, it is that learners and <span id="more-120"></span>performers thrive when their growth process is uniquely tailored to their own personal nuance of character.”<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,verdana;">Waitzkin hopes to nurture the individualized learning potential of children and young adults by offering the book to schools and other youth programs through his non-profit organization, the JW Foundation. To learn more about the book and how to submit your own book request, visit the <a href="http://jwfoundation.com/nea.html" target="”_blank”">JW Foundation</a>.</span></span></p>
