"Get Orgainized without Losing It" book 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.
Cute - but they have to want it It was a cute book - my daughter thought it was "interesting". She flipped through it - but then more or less it got tossed in the heap of other books that she has. All in all - just because you want them to be organized - doesn't mean that a book is going to fix it. And that goes for all books on this subject.
If you are looking for a miracle cure...there isn't one. If you are looking for maybe a hint or two - that may or may not stick with you child... Then go ahead and purchase the book - but to be honest - it would be cheaper to just borrow it - or something like it from the library.... After all it probably won't get looked at again after a week anyways.
organized smorganized This really didn't cover anything that doesn't come up all the time in our normal "you need to be more organized" conversations. It just repeated us. My son lost interest real fast. I asked him what he learned and he said "I need to be organized". Yep, kind of knew that already.
Made for children 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!
Get Organized Without Losing It This book is simple to read yet informative and effective for my upcoming 6th grader. There are great ideas for students to prepare for middle and high school. Awesome techniques!
