Summary

On the surface, capable teenage boys may look lazy. But dig a little deeper, writes child psychologist Adam Price in He's Not Lazy, and you'll often find conflicted boys who want to do well in middle and high school but are afraid to fail and so do not try.

This audiobook can help you become an ally with your son as he discovers greater self-confidence and accepts responsibility for his future.

Amazing

This book speaks so much about what I’m going through with my teenage son. You can see his opting out and saying he does not care because he fears failing. This book is helping me understand my son and how to best approach him. I’m recommending this book to a friend who is struggling too,

Excellent Guidance

I had issues with the way I was brought up and my parents had far too many expectations. I broke away from them but I was anxious for my son not to go down the same destructive path.

Society is changing to top it off navigating fatherhood becomes difficult when my son became awkward. I know my teenage years were difficult but after listening to this book the struggles made. me who I am. The advice is golden and after absorbing the information my son has the space to fail. Highly recommended for parents of teenage boys.

Amazing, insightful, eye-opening

Great book for all parents of teen or preteen boys, whether their kids are opt-outs or not. Packed with useful, interesting information about adolescent development and how it impacts their behavior. At first I wasn't comfortable with the narration but quickly got used to it, the pace and tone is natural and easy to listen to. Love how the book is divided into two parts making it really easy to grasp. Dr Price quotes so many experts too, making it really a wealth of information. Helped me see my boys in a different light, and work better on my parenting. Highly recommended

Truly life changing

As the mother of an extremely talented opt out, I found this book life changing. It has helped us in many ways become better parents and better people. I felt as this book was written specifically for us. Thanks so much.

Interesting

The book is interesting
I was able to apply some of the areas to are family with a couple of teenagers one who has autism.

Different types of parenting and it’s impact on a child and how it affects can effect the communication and relationship between the two I liked. Now I look at myself and others and try and identify what type of parenting people are they.

I found the book helpful and will and have applied some of the techniques in the book.

Excellent and thought provoking

I highly recommend this book. It really made me rethink my expectations as a parent and gives a voice to boys who aren’t naturally comfortable with the experience of education

Can’t comment on the content

The narrator of this book was so dreadful that I wasn’t able to listen. It was like listening to an automated voice read the text. I’ll buy a hard copy and read it as am keen for the advice but not so keen that I was able to endure the narration.
