Synopsis:
Organized children are raised, not born. That’s the philosophy behind this confidence-building, sanity-saving book. Fostering organized thinking in your child will help with concrete concerns (think a tidier bedroom!) and build critical life skills like learning to plan and grasping the big picture. Dr. Korb’s 5 Steps to Raising an Organized Child apply to all ages. So, whether you have an infant or a teenager, it’s never too late (or too early!) to foster organization in him or her and harmony in your whole family. Raising an Organized Child presents specific activities for your child’s age and developmental level to improve executive function. No matter if your child is just your average chaotic kid or struggling with additional challenges like ADHD, you can boost your child’s organization and lower your frustration with Dr. Korb’s guidance.
Review:
There is a lot of great advice in this book, especially if you have kids who tend toward lazy, then Korb's techniques should really work well in training them early by showing skills, being consistent,giving everything a place in their rooms, and showing what keeping order means for them, so that they learn to think that way for themselves. While Korb stresses executive function, those of us with kids with dyslexia AND ADHD, know that their organization may not be OURS, but it makes sense to THEM, While he offers some great ideas for these kids, they didn't really work for us. But generally, if you want to retrain your child over the Summer, this guide can really help!
