Learning to Slow Down and Pay Attention by Kathleen G Nadeau

This third edition reflects changes in understanding of ADHD and approaches to its treatment. For example, it explains more to the child about medication and how it works. While the majority of what's written about ADHD emphasizes behaviors that bother adults, this book has increased emphasis on aspects of ADHD that are troublesome to children.

"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 focusedPsychologists Kathleen Nadeau and Ellen Dixon provide checklists to help young readers identify the problems they’d like to solve, and include plenty of activity pages to support the process of positive change."—ADDitude Mahazine

Ingersoll, PhD, Montgomery Child & Family Health Services, Maryland, on the second edition
