Magination Press Learning to Slow Down and Pay Attention: A Book for Kids About ADHD

Muy buen libro para trabajar con niños con TDAH

Great ideas for kids who struggle with following instructions and staying focused. Have shared with other parents and found great tips that took the stress out of the lives of families with these kinds of kids. Helped the kids too to see that they arent' the only ones with these problems.

I really enjoyed reading Learning to Slow Down and Pay Attention by Kathleen G. Nadeau, Ph.D. and Ellen B. Dixon, Ph.D. who had the brilliant idea that in a sea of books written on this subject for teachers and parents, there should be one for the children as well. It's written in direct and easy to understand language that kids can relate to even if they haven't been diagnosed with ADHD and just have trouble paying attention. The illustrations by Charles Beyl are simple and entertaining. It has pages with checklists, worksheets, and note areas to keep them interacting and rewarded for completing chapters and feeling as if the book was personalized just for them. I think this is a wonderful additional resource for ADHD from the children's perspective.I received this in exchange for a fair and honest review.

My son has been recently diagnosed with ADD (inattentive type) and this book was brilliant for explaining to him, in a way that he could understand, what that means. The chapters are in nice manageable chunks and the illustrations and puzzles are great for keeping kids engaged. It is a bit American in language in places (eg my son was confused as to what soccer cleats are!!) but apart from that, I would highly recommend.

my son, 8 really liked the book. there are great discussion topics, read this book together, this will help you understand few things better about your kid
