About the Book

Packed with practical tips, know-how, and fun, this friendly workbook just for kids has solutions for every situation - at home, at school, and with friends.

Now in its third edition, updated and expanded, with notes and resources for parents.

Topics include:

  • Getting homework done
  • Making friends
  • Remembering stuff
  • Dealing with feelings
  • Getting ready in the morning
  • Learning to relax
  • Staying focused
  • Asking for help
  • And much, much more!

From the Just for Kids section:

Lots of kids (and some grownups, too) have trouble paying attention because it's hard for them to sit still and listen.

  • Do you ever feel as if your motor is running, even when you're sitting still?
  • Do you feel like wiggling and fidgeting when you have to sit and listen to your teacher?
  • Do you talk a lot and have trouble being quiet in class?
  • Do you forget to raise your hand and wait for the teacher to call on you?
  • Is it hard to wait your turn?
  • Do you play around and bump into other kids when you're waiting in line?

If you answer yes to lots of these questions, you have a lot of energy! And having so much energy can make it hard to settle down and pay attention in school.

Review :

amp quot This ADHD workbook, written in an entertaining style that kids will love, addresses issues that will hit home - such as making friends, doing homework, and staying focused. Psychologists Kathleen Nadeau and Ellen Dixon provide checklists to help young readers identify the problems they amp rsquo d like to solve, and include plenty of activity pages to support the process of positive change. amp quot -ADDitude Mahazine

amp quot As much as I liked the first edition of Learning to Slow Down and Pay Attention, I am even more enthusiastic about this new, expanded edition. The book is positive and upbeat in tone amp hellip written in a straightforward style that young people can understand. amp quot -Barbara D. Ingersoll, PhD, Montgomery Child amp amp Family Health Services, Maryland, on the second edition

amp quot A very practical and useful tool. amp quot -Harvey Parker, PhD, Nationally Recognized ADD Specialist, on the first edition
