Pressured Parents, Stressed-Out Kids: Dealing with Competition While Raising a Successful Child by Wendy Grolnick, Ph.D., Clark University psychology professor, and Kathy Seal, parenting journalist (both mothers themselves).  A good balance of cognitive science and practical parenting advice, this book speaks to many of the issues explored in the recent film Race to Nowhere.
