Self-Esteem & Fitting In

Children having ADHD-attention-deficit disorder - are sometimes mistakenly perceived as unruly, or as incapable of following instructions. Here is a story about how one child overcomes this problem with help from the family doctor, his parents, and his teacher. Titles in Barron's "Live and Learn" series are sensitively written picture storybooks that take a child's point of view-especially in regard to kids who need encouragement in the face of an emotional or a physical difficulty. Following each story are four pages of suggested activities that relate to its theme, followed by a two-page section that offers advice to parents.
