 MYTH OF LAZINESS
: How Kids and Parents Can Become More Productive by Mel Levine. Price : A$29.95 pb - 288 pages ISBN-10: 0743248651 ISBN-13: 9780743248655 January 2004 "When we call someone lazy, we condemn a human being," writes Mel Levine, MD In The Myth of Laziness, the bestselling author of A Mind at a Time shows that children dismissed as unproductive or "lazy" usually suffer from what he calls "output failure"–a neurodevelopmental dysfunction that can continue to cause difficulties into adulthood if left unchecked. The desire to be productive is universal, says Dr Levine, but that drive can often be frustrated by dysfunctions that obstruct output or productivity.

 LEADER IN ME:
How Teachers and Parents are Inspiring Greatness, One Child at a Time by Stephen
Covey.Price A$29.95 pb - 288 pages ISBN-10: 0731814177 ISBN-13: 9780731814176 November 2008 The world has entered an era of the most profound and challenging change in human history. Most of our children are not prepared, and we know it. In 1999, the AB Combs Elementary School in North Carolina, USA, was on the verge of being cut as a magnet school and needed to find new ways to educate its students. Teachers and administrators began teaching practical, principle-based leadership skills—with remarkable results. In a short time, the number of students passing end-of-grade tests vaulted from 84 to 97 percent. Simultaneously, the school began reporting significant increases in students' self-confidence, dramatic drops in discipline problems, and striking increases in teacher and administrator job satisfaction. Parents, meanwhile, reported equivalent improvements in their children's attitudes and behaviour at home. As news of the school's success spread, schools around the world began adopting the mantra to "develop leaders, one child at a time."
