My Ratings: 8 Merit, 10 Interest, 10 Fun
I can recommend this book, based on the fact that I have a very disorganized kid in my house (who rather takes after his mother, in fact). The general idea of the book is that parents have to help kids, who are being asked to keep it together much younger than ever before. At the same time parents need to step up, they need to understand that whatever Fabulous System they use to keep themselves organized may not work for their kid. Let the kids explore how to set things up, since they know their school schedule and classroom needs best.
I needed to hear this. Sparky needed to figure this out too. We've implemented several of the things Goldberg recommends, and I'm sure I'll be referring to this book a lot over the years. I'll probably just buy a copy so I can have it at hand as necessary.
