Beep!: Navigating Through ADHD (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781616600136)

BEEP : Navigating Through ADHD is the 10th book in Reflection's Publishing's "Kids Helping Kids Through Books" series. The primary goal of this series is to provide children with resources to help them to overcome life's obstacles. Divided into two sections, the front, fiction section of BEEP , is written and illustrated from the fresh perspective of a child to help open the door of communication between parents, teachers, and children as students navigate their way through learning study skills and life-long strategies to help cope with ADHD. Because true healing requires you to focus on your emotional, educational, social, and even spiritual needs, in the back nonfiction section of this book, you will find a 4114U section written by a clinical psychologist and educators to help provide children (and parents) the tools they need to navigate through ADHD.

Teen author, Garrett Ritchie, writes this story through an ADHD lens and has main character, Jack Winthrop, transports you into his world of ADHD. 11-year-old, Jack, takes you on his journey of homework struggles, managing his homework schedule, and attempts to meet the expectations of his parents and teachers. The author truly catapults you into Jack's everyday reality.
