| Publisher Description: After his debut with Boosting the Underachiever: How Busy Parents Can Unlock Their Child's Potential, Dr Victor Cogen, this time, focuses his unique vision on inspiring the adolescent underachiever - a normal, healthy teenager who just isn't getting the grades he or she should. Here, Dr Cogen tackles the intricacies of the adolescent mind. His innovative approach goes beyond the stereotypical views of the teenage personality and teaches parents how they can personally take advantage of their adolescent's developing cognitive and emotional abilities. Adolescents are trapped between a world of fantasy created to help them escape from failure, and a growing need to become part of the real world of adults. This book explains how to appeal to the developing and sensitive people these children are becoming and discover the source of their poor scholastic records. |
