I would buy this one in bulk to share with fellow teachers, parents and anyone else who deals with children. As the saying goes, when you know better, you do better!"

  • "After years of helping young people overcome their problems with organization, Rhona Gordon has shared her approach in a user-friendly book. Thinking Organized describes strategies for time management, assignment tracking, keeping notebooks, studying, memorizing, note-taking and writing. Only someone who has worked long in the trenches could have anticipated all the usual 'break-down points' with such practical and effective suggestions. Thinking Organized is Rhona Gordon's gift to parents struggling to help their children learn how to learn. I will recommend it to all my patients with organizational difficulties."


    – Daniel Shapiro, M.D., Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, Rockville, MD

  • "Thinking Organized is an easy-to-follow guide for parents who want to help their children do better in school. I'll be sure to recommend this to the parents of my students."


    – Catherine Arnold, teacher, Midlothian, VA

     

  • "Thinking Organized for Parents and Children is a really valuable contribution to the bookshelves of all parents who need to understand and support disorganized children. I found myself recommending it to parents immediately after reading the book in manuscript form!"


    – Martha Bridge Denckla, M.D., Batza Family Endowed Chair, Director, Developmental Cognitive Neurology, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Professor, Neurology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

     

  • "It's easy for parents to get frustrated and say to the child, 'You just need to work harder and study more.' The challenge is to identify and address each child's individual needs and come up with a plan. It was never a question of working harder, it was finding a way to work smarter and more efficiently. The Thinking Organized program helped our child find the necessary strategies and skills to be a successful, life-long learner."


    – Robyn Wagman, parent, Bethesda, MD

     

  • "The book entitled Thinking Organized provides many wonderful ideas, practical approaches and blueprints to improve the executive functioning skills of disorganized thinkers and to help ensure their academic success. I recommend this book as important reading for parents as well as educators and pediatricians."
