Lost at School

I just broke my weakly self-imposed rule against using Amazon's one-click ordering option to buy a copy of Ross Greene's recently published book, "Lost at School." It sounds so much like my recent experience guiding a child through the nightmare of middle school -- the so-called "Bermuda Triangle of education" where so many kids indeed get lost, or maybe just wounded forever. Ross Greene is the Harvard psychologist who wrote the hugely compassionate classic, "The Explosive Child" . His theory is that all children basically want to be good, but some have a harder time than others. This new book is overdue, and I can't wait to read it.
