In The Disintegrating Student, Jeannine Jannot, PhD. explores an increasingly common phenomenon: bright, successful students who suddenly hit a wall, with falling grades, scattered work, and emotional upheaval--and what parents can do to help their child get back on track.***COPY DRAFT - NOT FINAL**The Disintegrating Student is a must-read for any parent with a child who's smart and capable, but still struggling in school. In this engaging and easy-to-read book, Jeannine Jannot, Ph.D. explores the reasons that many super smart students begin to fall apart and provides practical advice to help them. And she doesn't just tell you what to do, she explains why you should do it and how it will help. Drawing on her years of experience as a school psychologist, mother of three, college instructor, and academic coach, Dr. Jannot discusses the developmental and cultural influences that are causing today's generation of students to feel overwhelmed and stressed out, the impact this has on them academically and emotionally, and why they often are reluctant to ask for or accept help. Dr. Jannot identifies a number of skill deficits and counterproductive behaviors that are common among disintegrating students and provides specific tips and strategies that will help struggling students get back on their feet and on the path to reaching their full potential. This book will help students and parents assess what they've been doing well, understand areas where they need support, and develop the skills needed to succeed in today's high-pressure achievement culture, and in life.
