From Library Journal:
Parents and teachers alike will gain a wealth of information from this excellent book. Greene, a California educator known for the success of his Developmental Learning Center, has produced a treasure-trove of concrete, practical ideas for dealing with students who are underachieving for a variety of reasons. Topics include identifying underachieving children, self-esteem and achievement, learning problems, study skills, communicating with underachievers, standards, and emotional problems. Useful checklists (e.g., on attitudes toward challenges and frustration, and on family problems) round out this superb resource.

California educator Greene, author of Kids Who Hate School, here addresses the situation of underachieving children. Since the learning deficits such children suffer are not sufficiently incapacitating to warrant formal remediation in school, these students often escape notice, establish a pattern of substandard achievement and may, as a result, become disabled, frustrated adults, the author notes. The prevalence of nonspecific learning problems in children is of increasing concern to parents and educators. Greene examines causes, presents scenarios and offers practical applications to help parents promote the emotional and academic growth of their children.
