I know my son is bright. . . . why doesn't he care about school? Why is he so lazy and unmotivated? My daughter is . . . so unmotivated. How can I make her want to do better? In this lifesaving, groundbreaking book, Drs. Mandel and Marcus, clinical psychologists with more than 25 years' experience working with underachievers, show that these children are, in fact, highly motivated—in directions other than schoolwork. The key to helping underachievers reach their full potential lies in discovering their real motivation and redirecting it. But first, say the authors, you must abandon conventional wisdom; underachievers are not all alike. "Could Do Better" identifies six major underachieving personalities and includes step-by-step programs tailored to help each. Learn how to recognize which kind of underachiever your child is—the procrastinating Coaster, the distracted Identity-Searcher, the manipulative Wheeler-Dealer are just a few of the most recognizable personalities—and discover what's really going on inside his or her mind. The information is revealing, the expectations realistic. Useful parent checklists are included in each section, along with practical guidelines for when you can hope to see change, and illuminating profiles of the six personalities as adults should the underachieving continue unchecked. "Could Do Better" also addresses the specific underachievement problems of gifted and learning disabled children. A breakthrough approach to helping children realize their full potential, "Could Do Better" speaks urgently to the millions of parents deeply concerned about how to prepare their child for a competitive, achievement-oriented world, as well as to everyone who works with underachievers. IS ONE OF THESE UNDERACHIEVERS YOUR CHILD? COASTERS: the ultimate procrastinators, usually described as easy-going and unmotivated, the most common type of underachiever ANXIOUS UNDERACHIEVERS: want to do better but are too tense and uptight to work effectively IDENTITY-SEARCHERS: so wrapped up in figuring out who they are that they become distracted from schoolwork WHEELER-DEALERS: impulsive and manipulative, so intent on instant gratification that they see no point in doing well in school SAD UNDERACHIEVERS: their depressed mood and low self-esteem rob them of the energy they need for schoolwork DEFIANT UNDERACHIEVERS: underachieve as an act of rebellion Help redirect your child's motivation. "Could Do Better" offers a revolutionary new approach conceived by leading authorities in the field. Their step-by-step techniques show you how to put your child back on the achievement track. PRAISE FOR THE AUTHORS' PREVIOUS BOOK "Thought-provoking, practical information."—Marianne M. O'Hare, Drew University "Particularly excellent and detailed remediation procedures.... Mandel and Marcus are to be applauded." —Dr. Jane H. Hamacher — in The Ontario Psychologist

The world was quietly going about its "normal business" when late in 2019 the entire global world of 195 countries, even China, was turned completely on its head by a fake "virus" and a fake "pandemic". However, the world was not to know at the time, and for the most part still does not know; until the publication of this book, that the entire chapter and verse of the "virus" paradigm called "SarsCov2", and its ensuing ailment "Covid19 and its "pandemic" were all total lies and fake. Lies and fake propagated by hidden persons and their nominated puppets in mostly unelected, globalist organisations beyond the reach of sovereign states: WHO, WEF, UN, World Bank etc who in reality control the world. Consequently, in early 2020 and the following months through to 2021 there was a world-wide 'nightmare' that no one seemed to fully understand or indeed understand at all. This nightmare was known variously as "Coronavirus" "Sars-Cov2" and "Covid19". Coronaviruses can cause mild disease similar to a common cold. "Sars-Cov2" - severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was claimed to be a "novel" (new) coronavirus and the illness "Covid19", was supposedly caused by "Sars-Cov2".Mass Induced Dystopian NightmareThe dystopian nightmare had only just begun and was to last almost two full years - 2020-2022. Horrible images appeared from China (not the most democratic country in the world) then from Italy and other countries until world-wide. Preposterous projections of not to happen global deaths based on very flawed computer models were bandied about to an unknowing mass of a very frightened and unfortunately deliberately ill-informed global population. Global mass media fanned the flames morning, day, and night for many months on end. Inappropriate quarantine measures were globally, in lockstep, imposed that restricted human movement to an inhuman level that people were not permitted to see their loved ones when their loved ones were dying in hospitals and care homes! The world was a surreal, dystopian horror story - police vans patrolling the street at night, complete lockdown and no one allowed outside except for one hours walk per day, no gatherings greater than six, empty streets, closed and boarded shops, empty parks, and empty beaches. Draconian civil rights restrictions were imposed. The Global economic and social life the world over were about to fall into total collapse. On what data were these extreme measures taken? Was the world really under such a massive threat that we had to close down global capitalism for 2 years? Had the benefits of these very severe measures been adequately assessed against the damage that they would also no doubt cause to the global economy and to individual person's lives throughout the world? No, they had not. They were simply imposed globally without recourse to any open debate or serious risk analysis. Medico-Totalitarianism strode the world like a Great Dictator with all debate and opposition silenced by
