At last, the solution for getting disorganized boys back on track
Crumpled homework and missing 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.
With an accessible style and a no-nonsense approach, Homayoun shows parents 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”
- Show him how to study and complete assignments without pulling all-nighters
- Help him tune out social pressure and fend off anxiety
"Ana Homayoun gets it! Combining an extraordinary feel for what boys face in schools these days with an enormously shrewd, practical sets of tips on how to get organized and excel, this book hits a home run. All parents and teachers as well as students (yes, I think girls could find it useful, too!) will find that this book makes school less of a struggle and more of a pleasure. Brief, to-the-point, and clear, this book is an invaluable, unique tool."
--Edward Hallowell, M.D., author of SUPER PARENTING FOR ADD and DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION

"Filled with practical advice for the parents of disorganized boys (and that’s an awful lot of young boys), Ana Homayoun's That Crumpled Paper Was Due Last Week teaches us how to help our sons navigate through a school environment that is less than kind to distracted and disorganized young men."
