The must-have guide to getting your child back on track

You know your child is bright. Until recently, school was fine - easy, even. Yet suddenly, your son or daughter is struggling academically and emotionally. Falling grades, scattered work, assignments unfinished or not turned in, outbursts and upheaval…what is going on? And how can you help?

The truth is that many smart students reach a point where they feel overwhelmed and stressed out. As their grades drop, so does their self-esteem, and this combination of external and internal pressures can seem insurmountable. To make matters worse, students feel unable to ask for or accept help. In The Disintegrating Student, Jeannine Jannot, PhD, draws on her decades of experience as a school psychologist, educator, and student coach to explain the reasons for this increasingly common phenomenon. Dr. Jannot identifies the skill deficits and counterproductive behaviors of disintegrating students, and provides a complete toolbox of techniques and strategies to combat them.

Effective and science-based, these tools address the specific challenges faced by students and their parents, including:

• Organization
• Time management
• Stress
• Study habits
• Sleep
• Mindset
• And screens

Learn how to build trust, motivate, and encourage responsibility and problem solving. Empowering and engaging, The Disintegrating Student will show you how to help your child embrace what’s going right, address what’s going wrong, and develop the skills needed for success in school and in life.

Parent of an Adolescent? Read this book!

I read this as professional development for my secondary school as the college counselor. Not surprisingly, as an educator, I already knew most of the issues that our adolescents are struggling with; however, all I could think as I listened, was that every other friend of mine who’s a parent should read this book! I walked away with so many tips for my adolescent and pre-adolescent children that I plan to implement. I also continually thought, yes! I’m not doing a half-bad job at this parenting thing! as I listened. So that was nice. 😉
