Media Recommendation for Parents:

He's Not Lazy: Empowering Your Son to Believe in Himself 

I read this book as a parent in search of answers when I started to see a decline in grades and motivation in my own child during his middle school years. If you are concerned about your capable child opting out of completing the work to make the grade I strongly recommend this book. 

Parenting the New Teen in the Age of Anxiety: A Complete Guide to Your Child's Stressed, Depressed, Expanded, Amazing Adolescence 

“Dr. Duffy’s latest book gives parents insight and practical advice they won’t find anywhere else for restoring calm to the frenzied pace of growing up today. Anxiety, stress, and depression are commonplace in teenager’s lives now, but they don’t have to be. You’ll find comfort and wisdom in these pages. A must-read for every parent.”

Michelle Icard, author Middle School Makeover: Improving The Way You and Your Child Experience The Middle School Years
