The Unmotivated Child focuses on the roots of underachievement, the
world of the underachiever, and pathways to achievement. By explaining
in detail how parents and teachers can help a child live up to his or
her potential, Rathvon offers solutions to problems, including:
guidelines for supporting the students through the change process,
including dealing with setbacks. Seven strategies for overcoming the
"homework trap"-from helping children work effectively at home to
making sure they bring their work to school. Eight practical techniques
for working with teachers to encourage a new approach to learning and
school behavior. Five methods for communicating constructively with an
underachiever.
