| Description: |
Read this complete article by Sylvia Rimm, Ph.D. about when some parents realize that their children's small problems are simply not disappearing. They wonder why their children are not working to their abilities in school. They may have already heard the word "underachiever" from an earlier teacher, but they hoped their children would mature out of the problem. The parents are puzzled, and so are the children's teachers. |

This is one of the many great article's written by Dr. Sylvia Rimm. Dr. Rimm is a psychologist and directs Family Achievement Clinic, in Cleveland, Ohio, and is a clinical professor at Case School of Medicine. I like the end of this article that offers tips for preventing underachievement. This is a great article for parents, mentors, and educators. |
