THE KEY TO HELPING ALL CHILDREN DEVELOP HEALTHY ATTENTION SPANS

"Attention, please! These sensory-rich activities are sensational! They will encourage kids to relate purposefully to others and participate wholeheartedly in the world around them as they focus intentionally on novel experiences and ideas."
--Carol S. Kranowitz, M.A., author of The Out-of-Sync Child

Her simple games and activities are wonderful for helping kids of all ages focus their attention while learning new things, thinking in new ways, and exploring the world around them."
--Thomas Armstrong, Ph.D., author of The Myth of the A.D.D. Child
