That Crumpled Paper Was Due Last Week: Helping Disorganized and Distracted Boys Succeed in School and Life Description
At last, the solution for getting disorganized boys back on track. Missed assignments. Lack of focus and enthusiasm. Falling grades. For too many boys and their frustrated parents, these are the facts of life. But they don't have to be.
Top academic couselor Ana Homayoun has helped turn even the most disorganized, scattered, and unfocused boys into successful young people who consistently meet their personal and academic challenges. She does this by getting back to basics- -starting with a simple fact: Most boys needs to be taught how to get organized, how to study, and-- most important--how to visualize, embrace and meet their own goals.
With an accessible and no-nonsense approach, Homayoun shows how to:
?Identify their son's disorganizational style
?Help him set academic and personal goals he cares about
?Design and establish the right "tools of the trade"
?Complete assignments without pulling all-nighters
?Help him tune out social pressure and fend off anxiety
Much more than a study guide, this insightful, user-friendly book provides a roadmap for the success too many boys have trouble finding--in school and in life.

Excellent book. It offers great advice and seemingly easy-to-implement tips on how to help your son perform better in school (and to help him enjoy other areas in life). It will help you re-think the whole "homework time is a nightmare" scenario. I especially appreciate the author's positive approach and her explanations for why certain strategies should be considered. It makes perfect sense. She also lists and explains different types of "dis-organizational" styles. They are dead on. Who knew that other boys have similar traits? And who knew that there were simple techniques, specific to their style, to help them get organized and more focused on their work? If your son needs some homework and organization strategies, get this book.

Homayoun's core belief that a child who has a set and predictable time, place, and strategy for doing their school work makes so much sense. You've heard it before. The experts all agree. BUT SHE TELLS YOU HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. Her strategies and systems are so easy to implement. She offers many alternatives for different kinds of families, households, and different kinds of kids. I've even implemented some of her strategies for my highly gifted, but somewhat disorganized, 2nd grader. They have taken a lot of stress off of our whole family and given him much more control over his life - and as she promises over and over in the book (a promise the book keeps) - given him much more free time to PLAY.
