In The ADHD Workbook for Kids, an internationally-recognized child psychologist presents more than forty ten-minute games and activities children with ADHD can do to learn to make friends, gain confidence, and manage out-of-control behaviors.

Our Review

This practical workbook delivers exactly what it promises: over forty focused activities designed specifically for children with ADHD to build social skills, boost self-esteem, and learn to manage impulsive behaviors. Each ten-minute game is structured to hold a child's attention while teaching concrete strategies for navigating daily challenges, from making friends to controlling emotional outbursts. The bite-sized format respects the cognitive load of a young mind with attention difficulties, making complex emotional regulation feel accessible and even fun.

What sets this resource apart is its action-oriented approach; instead of just explaining ADHD, it gives kids tangible tools they can practice immediately. The exercises feel like play rather than work, which is crucial for engagement and long-term skill retention. Young readers who struggle with focus, social anxiety, or emotional control will find themselves building real competence through these manageable daily practices. It's the kind of book that can genuinely change a child's relationship with their own brain, turning frustration into capability one ten-minute session at a time.
