Recensione

“An easy-to-read book full of practical information, written with humor and sensitivity. The authors understand children and the organizational problems that challenge many families. Every child, even those who perform well, will benefit from the organization strategies recommended in this comprehensive book.” (Betty B. Osman, Ph.D. Betty B. Osman, Ph.D. Betty B. Osman, Ph.D. Betty B. Osman, Ph.D., Author of No One to Play With: Social Problems of LD and ADHD Children)

“By revealing how the root causes of disorganization are not the fault of the parents, the teachers, or even the kids―but have to do with how the frontal lobes of the brain develop―this book will guide us to much more constructive solutions.” (Ellen Galinsky, President of the Families and Work Institute)

“This practical ‘how to’ book is an invaluable tool to help parents effectively guide their children in the development of organizational skills. The authors have translated their impressive expertise, wisdom, and insights into a remarkably comprehensive and refreshingly direct step by step approach.” (Barbara Firestone, Ph.D., President & CEO of The Help Group)
