From the Author

As with "A Safe Place for Caleb," "Allery Busters," and "Amy Elizabeth Goes to Play Therapy," our emphasis is to provide practical advice and easily implemented solutions. (See also "The Art of Virtue.")

Customer Reviews

Recommend for anyone with a child with sensory integration dysfunction
I had a child diagnosed with sensory integration dysfunction at age 8. If anyone has an older child who has a hard time with life, this is a great book. It is written from the perspective of a 12 year old. It's written by a peer. I read this to my 12 year old (yes he can read himself). I felt it more effective to read it to him. It made him feel good that he is not the only one have problems with the things he struggles with. There were good motivationals in it. Very friendly reading, and helpful tips at the end.

Kid Friendly
This book is great for elementary age children to help them deal with the challenges of ADHD or Autism spectrum disorders. Well written and positive.
