Written by Sunny P. Chico, the former regional secretary of education (Region V) and a former educator with more than 30 years of experience, Sunny has seen many attempts to help students succeed and she has seen just as many fail. Why? Because none of these attempts address the foundation of a student: their parents. It is the parents who have the greatest impact on a child's life and Sunny knows how to help them.

Throughout her career, Sunny has worked to empower parents to be active partners in their children's education. That commitment to education, along with her experience, expertise, and passion for helping families culminated in creating the series YOU: Your Child's First Teacher, an unprecedented parent empowerment program that guides parents as they lay a foundation for their child's success in school and in life.
