"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’d like to solve, and include
plenty of activity pages to support the process of positive
change."—ADDitude Mahazine
"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…written in a
straightforward style that young people can understand."—Barbara D.
Ingersoll, PhD, Montgomery Child & Family Health Services,
Maryland, on the second edition "A very practical and useful
tool."—Harvey Parker, PhD, Nationally Recognized ADD Specialist, on
