"Boys may seem impervious to school pressures, but they often fear failure so much that they totally opt out. He's Not Lazy helps parents understand--and constructively handle--the underlying issues affecting their sons. A renowned expert on ADHD explains how to deal with a conflicted boy who really wants to do well, discover hidden obstacles to his success, develop his confidence, and empower him to accept responsibility for his own future"-- Provided by publisher.
