Book Synopsis

Now in its second edition, The ADHD Workbook for Kids provides the emotional, psychological, and behavioral support kids need to stay focused, build confidence, and thrive!

If your child has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), they may struggle in school--despite being bright. They may lack focus, have difficulty making friends, or suffer from low self-esteem. Many kids with ADHD want to get along better with others and succeed in school, but they lack the skills needed to improve executive functioning, curb impulsive behavior, and manage intense emotions. The ADHD Workbook for Kids offers simple tools to help children with ADHD learn all of these essential skills--in just ten minutes a day!

Now fully revised and updated, this engaging kid-friendly workbook provides tons of fun activities, games, and illustrations to help kids with ADHD thrive--at home, at school, and with friends. Developed by renowned child psychologist Lawrence E. Shapiro, the adaptive learning skills outlined in this workbook will not only help kids handle everyday tasks, but also make friends, improve communication, curb impulsive behavior, and build self-esteem. Alone or with your help, your child can complete one ten-minute activity each day to learn how to make good decisions and discover easy techniques for staying focused when it's time to pay attention.

Includes new activities to help your child:

• Become a good listener and a good friend
