“Most people want their child(ren) to stay out of trouble, do well in school and succeed,” Judge Eileen A. Olds states. Presenting an informative go-to, how-to, hope-filled guide, Olds shares her new book, “Twin Expectations: Raising the Bar, Raising Expectations, Raising Children!” (published by iUniverse), to reclaim what she says matters most: “our children.”
The book answers the often-asked question posed to her: “What did your mother do?” when people learn of she and her twin sister’s accomplishments. The author details transferrable tools that rescued them from negative influences and fostered the positive.
Olds and her identical twin sister, Francine, a noted gynecologist, were raised by their single mother to defy lowered expectations rather than succumb to them. If society had its way, neither of them may have succeeded, let alone risen to the top of their professions in such highly-competitive fields.
Combining life-lessons learned from her mother along with her own experiences as a juvenile and family court judge, Olds provides guiding wisdom and practical advice to readers for children-rearing. Her personal stories, told in an inviting,conversational tone, provide direction to parents for helping children gain the confidence to make wise choices, mind their manners, learn to value their families, be resilient, etc.
Advocating love, care and concern, “Twin Expectations” provides a fresh vision for parents and all of those concerned about future generations. When Judge Olds throws her book at you, it is one you will want to catch!
