Organized children are raised, not born. That's the philosophy behind this confidence-building, sanity-saving book. 

Fostering organized thinking in your child will help with concrete concerns (think a tidier bedroom!) and build critical life skills like learning to plan and grasping the big picture. Dr. Korb's 5 Steps to Raising an Organized Child apply to all ages. So, whether you have an infant or a teenager, it's never too late (or too early!) to foster organization in him or her and harmony in your whole family. 

Raising an Organized Child presents specific activities for your child's age and developmental level to improve executive function. No matter if your child is just your average chaotic kid or struggling with additional challenges like ADHD, you can boost your child's organization and lower your frustration with Dr. Korb's guidance.

' Dr. Korb's advice will help parents reduce day-to-day frustrations with homework, routines, clutter, and more. But, more importantly, Dr Korb's guidance on boosting children's organizational skills and executive function will prepare today's toddlers and teens for success as adults.' — Tanya Altmann, MD, FAAP, author of Baby and Toddler Basics

'...a kind, supportive guide that parents and children alike can profit from as they grow together.' — Publishers Weekly
