About this title

Synopsis

Teach Kids Self-Regulation

Being a verb is hard!

Especially for Louis, who can't seem to control himself when he gets the urge to move at the wrong time and situation.

"My knees start itching.
My toes start twitching.
My skin gets jumpy.
Others get grumpy."

Louis' mom comes to the rescue by teaching him techniques to help keep his inner itching, twitching and jumping to be a verb in check.

A positive resource for anyone dealing with ADHD or challenged by someone who has ADHD.

About the Author

Julia Cook, M.S. is a national award-winning children's author, counselor, and parenting expert. She has presented in thousands of schools nationally and internationally, regularly speaks at education and counseling conferences, and has published children's books on a wide range of character and social development topics. The goal behind Cook's work is to actively involve young people in fun, memorable stories and teach them to become lifelong problem solvers. Inspiration for her books comes from working with children and carefully listening to counselors, parents, and teachers, in order to stay on top of needs in the classroom and at home. Cook has the innate ability to enter the worldview of a child through storybooks, giving children both the "what to say" and the "how to say it."
