An explanation of ADHD symptoms and regulation strategies in kids terms.
A story for understanding a neuro divergent brain created and inspired by her daughters ADHD diagnosis. Nell wanted to gift her a book that help explained her brain's processes and needs.
NO big words OR acronyms that result in 'what does that mean' and bring the child out of the story.
"Brains are just like cars, they all drive round and round a track, picking up information and then bringing it back. Some brains are Race Cars that like to drive extra fast. Sometimes though, they forget to stop and fully complete a task.'
But driving cars fast all the time and not servicing or maintaining them leads to overheating and burnout. We can apply that same logic to our brains.
