All kids occasionally space out, get sidetracked, run out of time, or explode in frustration--but some do it much more often than others. If you have a "smart but scattered" child, take heart. This encouraging guide is grounded in research on the crucial brain-based skills that 4- to 13-year-olds need to get organized, stay focused, and control their impulses and emotions. The expert authors guide you to identify your child''s executive strengths and weaknesses, boost skills that are lacking, fix everyday routines that don''t work, and reduce everyone''s stress. Including new research, new and updated vignettes, and "A Good Place to Start" suggestions for each skill, the revised and updated second edition features a new chapter on technology and a greatly expanded school chapter. Helpful practical tools can be downloaded and printed.

Industry Reviews

"As a pediatric neuropsychologist, I have recommended Smart but Scattered to hundreds--if not thousands--of parents. I didn't think it was possible to improve on a classic, but the authors have done just that! With deep insight and empathy, the book provides abundant ideas and activities to increase executive function skills. Information about technology--a distraction for most 'scattered' kids--is a wonderful addition to the second edition. I love this book."--Ellen B. Braaten, PhD, author of Bright Kids Who Can't Keep Up

"The second edition improves on the original masterpiece! Drs. Dawson and Guare empower you to foster your child's self-awareness and growth-even if executive skills aren't your own strong suit. What sets this book apart is its user-friendly format, combining scientific insights with actionable advice. The questionnaires alone make the book worthwhile, providing crucial insights into your child's strengths and weaknesses. This is an invaluable resource for anyone dedicated to nurturing a child's potential."--Michael Delman, MEd, Founder and CEO, Beyond BookSmart-
