Rita Emmett, the bestselling author of The Procrastinator's Handbook , returns with a book every parent, teacher, and caregiver of a procrastinating child needs and has been waiting for. Children pay an enormous price, with their self-confidence and self-esteem, for procrastination. Procrastination keeps children from accomplishing short- and long-term goals and it damages their relationships with other children and adults. Without intervention nearly every procrastinating child will grow up to be a procrastinating adult. Rita Emmett understands the damage that procrastination can have on a child, and in The Procrastinating Child draws her advice for parents, teachers, caregivers from her own childhood, her parenting seminars, and the real-life stories of people who have overcome procrastination. Whether avoiding chores or homework or neglecting goals -- or in dozens of other situations -- children of all ages procrastinate for many reasons: - Feeling overwhelmed or confused and not knowing where to begin - Lack of motivation - A dislike of the task - Poor time management skills In each case, Emmett provides strategies for breaking through a child's defense mechanisms or reluctance to talk, and for establishing rules and guidelines that encourage young children and teenagers alike to face obligations in a timely way. Lighthearted, bighearted, The Procrastinating Child is as entertaining as it is rewarding.
