Train Your Brain: Focusing Friends to the Rescue

The ability to focus is not something children are born knowing how to do--it's a skill that can be taught, practiced and strengthened over time. Train Your Brain: Focusing Friends to the Rescue introduces young readers to practical strategies that help focusing become a superpower!

Every superhero has special powers -- and so do our Focusing Friends: Tune In Tracker, Block Out Buddy, Dive In Defender, Snap Back Supergirl and Wrap Up Warrior! As our main character, Rowan, uses positive self-talk to work toward an important goal, her Focusing Friends teach her to train her brain to focus.

Rather than simply encouraging children to "focus," this engaging story provides concrete, memorable tools anyone can apply in real-life situations. Whether at school, home, during sports, in social settings, and everywhere in between, one's ability to focus will vastly improve. Each strategy helps children build the executive functioning skills needed for goal-setting, planning and organizing, self-monitoring, staying on task and directing attention where it needs to go.

Perfect for classrooms, counseling sessions, and home learning, Train Your Brain: Focusing Friends to the Rescue gives adults a common language for teaching children to focus; while it also empowers them with lifelong strategies for self-regulation, confidence, resilience, and success.
