Many well-meaning parents, hoping to give their children a head start in life, overload their schedules and fragment family time. The result? Hurried childhoods, distant relationships and a failure to pass on vital values. Best-selling author and psychologist Dr. Kevin Leman shows you how to reclaim your role as the primary influence on your child by enjoying time together and making indelible, life-shaping memories.

Ask today's parents how they spend their time, and they're likely to say, “Working and driving the kids to their activities.” The modern reality is that well-meaning parents are working long hours and then signing their kids up for every available activity: music lessons, ballet, choir, one or two sports a season, and academic enrichment programs. The result is that kids spend the majority of their time with—and consequently being raised by—teachers, day care providers, coaches, and peers. Home Court Advantage points to a richer philosophy of parenting and gives practical pointers on how to achieve it.

“Kevin Leman’s Home Court Advantage reads like a pep talk from a wise uncle. He gently encourages parents to remember that there’s no substitute for spending time with our kids, and when we do, we’re all happier as a family.”
