Bright Kids Who Can't Keep Up: Help Your Child Overcome Slow Processing Speed and Succeed in a Fast-Paced World

Help slow-processing kids thrive in fast-paced life.

If your child seems to be trailing behind peers in everyday tasks, "Bright Kids Who Can't Keep Up" could be a lifesaver. It decodes the struggles tied to slow processing speed in children, which often goes misunderstood. The authors, experienced psychologists, bring clarity to this cognitive issue, offering not just insight but also practical strategies to support your child's development. It's a compassionate guide for parents craving to transform daily challenges into achievable tasks for their bright, yet slower-paced, children.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Do you find yourself constantly asking your child to "pick up the pace"? Does he or she seem to take longer than others to get stuff done--whether completing homework, responding when spoken to, or getting dressed and ready in the morning? Drs. Ellen Braaten and Brian Willoughby have worked with thousands of kids and teens who struggle with an area of cognitive functioning called "processing speed," and who are often mislabeled as lazy or unmotivated. Filled with vivid stories and examples, this crucial resource demystifies processing speed and shows how to help kids (ages 5 to 18) catch up in this key area of development. Helpful practical tools can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size. Learn how to obtain needed support at school, what to expect from a professional evaluation, and how you can make daily routines more efficient--while promoting your child's social and emotional well-being.
