They provide a step-by-step plan for an organizational system including: refining morning and nighttime routines, getting the correct work home, planning the work, and getting it back to where it belongs, tips for reading and note taking, study and test taking skills, and learning how to ask the right questions. "Organizing the Disorganized Child" is an essential toolkit that belongs on every parent's shelf.
