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