How to Boost Your Child's Achievement in School

As a psychologist with >20 years experience working with children and adolescents I have read scores of books on motivation, study skills, and academic improvement. This is simply the best. I am so glad it is now available because for years it could only be purchased through Bernard's Australian publisher. A great book for students elementary school through college.

This book gives simple, straight forward ideas from both a professional point of view, as well as the point of view of various children. It provides excellent motivation techniques, as well as warns of common distractions, and influences that deter children from success. It has inspired me to do better for my children, in hopes of them achieving great goals. The simple but thought provoking worksheets inside are wonderful tools to assist both parent and child! A must read for all parents, educators, and even for children!
