Who Do You Think You're Kidding?

Who Do You Think You're Kidding? by educationist Lina Ashar examines the pressures facing children and parents in a competitive, technology-rich world. Ashar begins from the reality that childhood has changed: expectations around academic performance, access to technology, social comparison and the pressure to stay ahead can influence how children spend their time and how families make decisions. The book asks how parents can help children grow into happy, capable and well-rounded individuals while responding to the demands of contemporary life.

Drawing on her experience as a parent and educator, Ashar encourages families to look beyond a narrow definition of achievement. The book discusses choosing educational paths that reflect a child's interests, shifting attention from purely textbook-based learning towards creativity and broader development, dealing with adolescence and recognising a child's potential. It invites parents to consider the choices they make on behalf of their children and the kind of support that helps young people become more confident about their own abilities and direction.

The focus is on guidance rather than a single formula for raising children. Families may have different priorities, circumstances and educational options, and the book encourages thoughtful decisions in that context. Its questions are relevant to parents negotiating school expectations, changing technology and the transition from childhood into adolescence. Who Do You Think You're Kidding? may interest parents, teachers and caregivers who want to reflect on education, wellbeing and the role adults play in helping children prepare for a changing world. It offers a perspective on nurturing potential while keeping the child's broader development in view.
