Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Hands-on strategies for teaching your disorganized child how to organize for school success! The overstuffed backpack, the missing homework, the unused planner, the test he didn't know about. Sound familiar? When the disorganized child meets the departmentalized structure of middle school, everything can fall apart. Even the academically successful child will start to falter if she misses deadlines, loses textbooks, or can't get to class on time. This practical book is full of hands-on strategies for helping parents identify and teach organizational skills. Educational consultant Donna Goldberg has developed these methods by working with hundreds of students and in this book she provides:
The Organized Student is a must for any parent who has heard the words, "I can't find my homework!" Review:"Donna Goldberg writes with the head of a professional and the heart of a mom. Her tips, tricks, and techniques are extraordinarily sensitive to the time constraints of today's families. Don't keep this book on your bookshelf. Keep it on your nightstand because you'll refer to it again and again." -- Rick Lavoie, author of It's So Much Work to Be Your Friend Review:"Of all the how-to books I've read, this one gets first prize. I predict that levels of parent-child frustration will drop significantly if they take the lessons to heart." -- Clarice J. Kestenbaum, M.D., professor of clinical psychology, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons Review:"Donna Goldberg has been a pioneer in helping students get organized and achieve more in school." -- Barry J. Izsak, president, National Association of Professional Organizers Synopsis:Overstuffed backpacks, missing homework, the unused planner, the test he didn't know about. Sound familiar? Goldberg, an expert whose been organizing kids for 15 years, shows parents how to teach their own children to organize for themselves.
