WASHINGTON, DC, Dec 10 – This holiday season give the kids in your life a meaningful gift—like a memorable read, according to education advocate David Bruce Smith.

“Books are ammunition for imagination—and a contributor to one’s success, especially when they propel us to learn the hows and whys of the past. Books teach young people how to think; they spur ideas, and develop the art of decision making,” says Smith.

The author and publisher has devoted part of his life to helping children learn about who they are, where they come from, and how to learn about all the possibilities that await them. That is why he, and the late Dr. Bruce Cole, former chairman of the National Endowment of the Humanities, co-founded the Grateful American Book Prize.

For many kids, organized sports aren’t much fun anymore.

Overbearing parents, overthe-top coaches and overzealous competition are frequent images associated with youth-athletic leagues today. Though playing ball often used to embody the enjoyment of being a kid, the experience for many youngsters is too serious and stressful – and ultimately not worth it.

One study revealed 70 percent of U.S. children drop out of organized sports by age 13, with pressure and burnout among the main reasons cited.

“The politics, as well as the over-emphasis adults put on kids to see a college scholarship as the ultimate goal, is ruining a kid’s ability to get the most out of sports,” says Maya Castro, author of The Bubble: Everything I Learned as a Target of the Political, and Often Corrupt, World of Youth Sports (www.thebubbleweb.com).
