Boys may seem like they're impervious to school pressures and demands, but in fact they often fear failure so much that they simply opt out of academic competition altogether. He's Not Lazy is the first book to address this problem, to help parents understand the underlying issues affecting their sons and to offer a constructive alternative to fights and fruitless bouts of negotiation. Dr Adam Price, a renowned expert on ADHD and learning disabilities, explains how to handle a conflicted boy who really wants to do well, discover hidden obstacles to his success, develop his confidence, set expectations and empower him to accept responsibility for his own future.
