"Mindfulness for Kids with ADHD goes beyond the title. In fact, the
skills in this book can be used by any age, including young
children and their parents, teachers, and helping professionals.
The mindfulness activities are perfect for parents to do with their
kids, and also for teachers to integrate into their classrooms. The
information is easy to unpack, expand, and apply to meet the needs
of different children in real-life situations. The timing of this
book is perfect with all the challenges in our world today to help
our kids adopt mindfulness and self-awareness as a way of
life."
--Nancy Hayes, MS, educator, special education coordinator, and
elementary school principal--Nancy Hayes, MS
"Debra Burdick has crafted the perfect resource for children with
ADHD. This book is filled with fantastic, age-appropriate
activities that can help children maximize the power of mindfulness
to control their symptoms of ADHD. Parents may find themselves
using the book themselves as the exercises are useful to us all.
Outstanding in every respect!"
--Ellen B. Braaten, PhD, director of the MGH Learning and Emotional
Assessment Program (LEAP), codirector of the The Clay Center for

About Psychological Testing for Kids--Ellen B. Braaten, PhD
"Debra Burdick has done it again! She has written a very
informative, easy-to-digest book to help children, parents, and
helping professionals use mindfulness strategies to navigate
through common life issues facing children with attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Since children with ADHD
have trouble paying attention, the focus on present-centered
mindfulness skills is very intuitive and effective. Her
easy-to-follow structure, using 'For You to Know, ' a case example,
and 'For You to Do' for each tip makes each activity very clear and
engaging. A great resource for parents and children alike!"
--Judith Belmont, MS, LPC, author of the Tips and Tools for the
Therapeutic Toolbox series--Judith Belmont, MS, LPC
"I know lots of kids who moan and groan when they hear that it is
time to practice mindfulness exercises. But these kids have yet to
experience Debra Burdick's book for children with ADHD. Debra has a
keen awareness of what it takes to help children with ADHD,
combining a unique blend of helpful therapeutic techniques and good
old fun. Thoughtful and well written, this book is sure to be a hit
with ADHD kids, their parents, and teachers."
--Lawrence E. Shapiro, PhD, author of How to Raise a Child with a
High EQ and The Secret Language of Children--Lawrence E. Shapiro,
PhD
"This wonderful, practical book is full of help and heart. Drawing
on both sides of the brain, and integrating thinking and feeling,
it has tons of specific suggestions and activities for kids and
their parents. It's fun, to the point, encouraging, and hopeful. A
real gem."
--Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Resilient--Rick Hanson, PhD
