About this title

From the Inside Flap

endorsement "In I Think I Have the Wiggle Fidgets, Barb Esham achieves the near impossible by providing an honest and accurate yet wonderfully optimistic depiction of the blessings and burdens that result from combining the creativity of an artist, the energy of an athlete, and the attention controls of an 8-year-old! With humor and insight, Esham points to the often neglected upsides of high energy and creativity, and provides helpful strategies for channeling these gifts in positive ways. A tremendous source of information and encouragement for children who are learning to balance creativity and control!" Drs.
