No Longer Unmotivated

If you have an unmotivated scholar sitting at your kitchen table - NOT doing homework, then this book is for you. Up until reading this book, I worried about my daughter passing her classes, wondered if she didn't understand the material, fretted over her lack of interest. But now I am back in the driver's seat - and she gets to do the worrying! Dr. Gray gives many examples of how to help your son or daughter. There are several chapters, just a couple of pages in length, which explain the various techniques you can use with your kids. It is a book you can grab and quickly find something that will help. The other benefit of the book is that he describes the process of setting up a motivational plan for the student. He, obviously, has heard all the excuses for not getting school work done and can help a parent set up a system which is hard to sabotage. I recommend this book to parents and others who work with children.
