Get Organized Without Losing It
My 10 year old reads science fiction and no other stories. He took this book up feeling inquisitive and went on to finish the book, he really seems to have understood the need of organizational skill for him to continue to succeed in the latter parts of school year (by which time his desk is filled with papers!)
I hope to fill the other 2 stars when he actually practices what the book preached!
We purchased this book for our grandson and hope it will help him to get organized. He will be receiving it as part of a Birthday gift.
I had higher expectations for this book because the other Laugh and Learn books were funny, especially the “Do your Homework without Throwing Up” one. I wish that it was more entertaining for kids so that they would want to read the book and enjoy reading it. I could barely get through this book myself because it was so dry and lecturing. The amount of stuff the author suggests you need to be organized is dizzying. I think this creates a barrier to entry for kids because they don’t have all that stuff. My son would not read this book. However, he found the Homework one and Procrastinator ones worth reading. The kind of kid who would read this entire thing is already interested in being organized.
Get Organized Without Losing It by Janet Fox is a fab self-help book for kids about putting your ducks in row. This book is chockful of helpful hints, useful tips, and great charts. Especially great because it’s really not about Mom and Dad laying down the law, this book invites kids to consider their own problems with organization and discover their own solutions. Helpful for kids who are frustrated with not knowing where their stuff is, when their homework is due, who have a real desire to get organized, but just don’t know how to get started.
Great book! Lots of good tips and yet simple and attractive enough for younger children.
