Understanding my ADHD,
is written as an introduction for
children who are being evaluated for
ADHD or who have recently been diagnosed
with ADHD. The book is a story about a
child named Tommy, who is struggling in
school and who always seems to be in
trouble. The author's story explains
the symptoms of ADHD in kid-friendly
language and offers hope and
encouragement to a child that with work
things can get better.
"Young
children always have questions,
but those questions may not always
be easy to answer. In her new
kid-friendly book,
Understanding My Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder, Kara
Tamanini has made that process much
simpler. In this sensitive book,
easily understood by even
preschoolers, Mr. Timmons, a kindly
shop owner, shares his childhood
experiences with Tommy, a boy coming
to grips with his own ADHD
behaviors. Wonderful on its
own, this first book in Ms.
Tamanini's Kids Awareness Series
leaves me wanting more."
