Product Description

"You can imagine what my child′s room looked like: clothes on the floor, cupboard draws open with clothes half hanging out of them, and toys spread all over the floor."

"Jill is given an assignment on Monday that is due on Friday. The problem is that despite continual harassing, she won′t start it until Thursday night."

Organizing Ther Confused Child finally answers the parents′ question, "How can I help my child get organized without waging a battle?" This elemental toolkit for parents and educators factors governmental styles into the equation, and offers effective strategies that give up incredible long-term consequences.

Renowned ADHD expert Dr. Martin Kutscher and coach Marcella Moran give reasons for the roots of our children′s governmental tribulations, and the parents′ role in fixing them. They outline uncommon governmental styles used by uncommon students. (Not all kids organize the same way!) Kutscher and Moran outline exactly what school equipment to buy, and how to set up the study area. They provide a step-by-step plot for an governmental system including:

o Refining morning and nighttime routines

o Being paid the assess work home

o Plotting the work, and being paid it back to where it belongs

o Tips for conception and note taking

o Study and test taking skills

o Culture how to question the right questions

Organizing the Confused Child is an elemental toolkit that belongs on every parent′s shelf.

"A superb book! Blessedly brief, pointedly practical, and clear as glass, this book will help any child, parent, or teacher who reads it. Step by step, the authors, who truly know their theme, lead the reader owing to a method that can′t help but succeed. This book meets an urgent need. I will be referring my patients to it."

"Organizing the Confused Child is a long overdue manual that strives to make life simpler on families with children with ADHD. Unlike other books that offer a menu of one-size-fits-all strategies, this book digs deeper and helps parents to know the root causes of their particular child′s disorganization...This book is a MUST HAVE for all parents of children with or without ADHD!"

- Nancy A. Ratey, author of The Confused Mind

"Organizing the Confused Child is a breath of fresh air. Straightforward, practical, and most vital, providing strategies and thoughts that any parent - even the confused - can easily apply. Rather than wait till some children struggle I recommend that Organizing the Confused Child be elemental conception for parents of all inflowing first graders."

As a mother of a confused 11yr ancient boy I was at the end of my rope trying to get him to remember his homework, books,and backback! I was desparately looking for a book that would help me help him become more organized. I came across "Organizing the Confused Child" at our local bookstore, grabbed the only copy and ran (not walked to the look into)and promptly read from cover to cover. Now I am rereading and hilighting and marking key points.

For any child, young adult or even adult this book is a lifesaver for the confused apprentice. From the start the author discusses the uncommon culture styles that children have and the best way to teach them to gather the right tools to establishment. From being paid the right supplies to use and implementation the author gives the child and parent a guide to succeed both in school and life.

If you or your child struggle to get homework done and/or get ready for school or work in the morning then this is the book for you. You won't be disappointed.

Finally, not a one size fits all deal with

I initially bought two books when I read the review; one for myself and one for my sister. Now I am back to buy 5 more because I just have to share this book with my acquaintances who are all distress the homework blues!

I have always painstaking myself a very organized person (too much so, probably!) and I was able to pass this skill on to my oldest child. Then came my second! It seemed like nothing worked! All I kept examination was, "I can't, I can't! I don't know how!" and I plotting this was just her being inflexible or bone idle or both. I would get angrier and angrier. I was at my wits end and resigned to the fact that this would always be a struggle for us.

Then I read in this book, "She was telling me exactly what the problem was-she really didn't have a clue how to start the task. She wasn't being bone idle or trying to get away from her responsibilities. She simply didn't know how to organize herself. That insight helped me to turn aside my rage. Now I just needed to figure out how to help her." It was my situation excactly!

Just because I was so organized, it didn't mean my method of establishment would work for my daughter. Thanks to this book, there are simple, concrete ways to establish exactly what works best for my daughter and the way she thinks/sees things. What works for me doesn't work for her and once we found what works for her, we were free! Free from frustration, free from screaming and free to focus on other things!

I urge this to anyone who plotting there was no hope for thier child to ever be organized. It is a book that is very specific and straightforward. I also reckon it's an exceptional book for confused adults too!

Reviewer: Busy Parent,

To watch our bright child struggle in school simply because he couldn't remember assignments, books to bring home and a myriad of other governmental tribulations we were desperate to try anything to end the yelling and screaming about homework and projects. This book laid out some fantastic simple suggestions and literally "cured" my son's disorganization. We were able to make fun reasons and games to make his schoolwork more manageable. Im hoping that he will be able to take these establishment technics into high school and be as flourishing as he has become in grammar school. This book is a must read for any parent who is at their wits end with school work. If you have a child that struggles in school simply because they cant organize their work, don't miss this book... Reverentially, Two Very Relieved Parents.........

The Must-Have Book for Parents

Reviewer: Lynne Kenney, Everywhere

Organizing the Confused Child is one of the best books I read in 2009. It is on paper clearly and simply with exceptional organizing thoughts. This book is so meticulous in its similes (and photos) that I urge it to teachers when I speak with them about making a fixed classroom polish. I highly urge this book to every family of kids and tweens, not just families who feel confused. It's an vital role to the parenting literature and will be loved by teachers, parents and even gifted kids who wish to better know their organizing style.

Fantastic book!
