"Taking A.D.D. to School"

Teaching children about ADHD and spreading awareness.

 

Activity

Ask your child’s teacher to read one of these books to his class—or arrange to be a guest reader yourself this fall. The stories will help your child’s classmates understand when and why he’s having a tough day, opening the door to discussion—and an atmosphere that’s both accepting and forgiving.

This book, from a series about topics ranging from autism to cancer, explains what’s going on inside a child with ADD. The main character, Ben, shows kids how to talk about their conditions, and to embrace medication in managing their lives.
