The Unmotivated Child focuses on the roots of underachievement, the
world of the underachiever, and pathways to achievement. By explaining
in detail how parents and teachers can help a child live up to his or
her potential, Rathvon offers solutions to problems, including:
guidelines for supporting the students through the change process,
including dealing with setbacks. Seven strategies for overcoming the
"homework trap"-from helping children work effectively at home to
making sure they bring their work to school. Eight practical techniques
for working with teachers to encourage a new approach to learning and
school behavior. Five methods for communicating constructively with an
underachiever.
Customer Review: This book helped me tremendously. I recommend it to anyone with
children. The context is right on track and it's easy to read. As soon
as I started reading it, I made changes to my behavior. This had a
direct effect on my daughter and she improved a grade level in three
subjects! Life is so much better in our household and now my daughter
has the skills to be a successful student.

Learning Outside the Lines |
|
Every day, your school, your teachers, and even your peers draw lines to measure
and standardize intelligence. They decide what criteria make one person
smart and another person stupid. They decide who will succeed and who
will just get by. Perhaps you find yourself outside the norm, because
you learn differently -- but, unlike your classmates, you have no
system in place that consistently supports your ability and desire to
learn. Simply put, you are considered lazy and stupid. You are expected
to fail. Learning Outside the Lines is written by two
such "academic failures" -- that is, two academic failures who
graduated from Brown University at the top of their class. Jonathan
Mooney and David Cole teach you how to take control of your education
and find true success -- and they offer all the reasons why you should persevere. Witty, bold, and disarmingly honest, Learning Outside the Lines
takes you on a journey toward personal empowerment and profound
educational change, proving once again that rules sometimes need to be
broken.
