Synopsis

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 counselor 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 listeners how to: identify their son's dis-organizational 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; and help him tune out social pressure and fend off anxiety.

Much more than a study guide, this insightful, user-friendly book provides a road map for the success too many boys have trouble finding—in school and in life.

Goodreads review by Jodi on March 29, 2015

I picked up this book to try to understand some of my disorganized, under-achieving students. The book is well-written and has good, easy advice but I cannot say I learned anything earth-shattering upon reading it. I liked the reminder to let students take responsibility for their successes and fail......more

Goodreads review by Alicia on March 05, 2017

I admit that I skimmed this book because it's not focused on elementary and middle school-aged boys but high school boys and their development once the ownness can be put a little bit more on them. It's a way to remind parents and especially parents of boys about allowing our kids to do more for the......more
