Review :
"Another wonderful book by Counselor Bryan Smith. This is a great book for either beginning or midway through the year. It is about procrastination, the reasons people don't start a project, and a plan to get started. I always like the plans Mr. Smith comes up with in his books and this is no different. His "Four Steps to Take Initiative" is helpful and will be of assistance to those who need some nudging to get started. I plan to teach this and then have the students draw a task they like to put off and then draw them starting that task and finishing it. This is good for ADD/ADHD students as well." - Deborah Grunloh "Blake struggles with getting started on things he needs to do. Sometimes he doesn't want to do them, and sometimes he isn't sure how. He learns that taking initiative is easier when he follows the four steps his mom gives him: "1. Focus on what needs to be done. 2. Figure out what's stopping you. 3. Come up with a plan and get started. 4. Ask for help if nothing else works" Blake uses these steps to clean his room and finish his math during school. He even teaches his brother, Braden, how to take initiative when Braden doesn't know how to start a school project." - Brooke, blogger @ Firm Happy Mom "Task initiation is a hard concept for many students. I love how this book simplifies it into four easy steps. I can't wait to use it with the students at my school." - Kevin Parker, Principal

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
