Resumen del Editor

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 five to 18) catch up in this key area of development.

Enlightening

So helpful in elucidating a rarely discussed and all important dynamic in families with slow processing members. This book has put us on the path of hope. Thank you for writing this book!

How relatable it was.

Some of the PDFs weren’t available. The readings of the sample summaries at the end were difficult to follow along to without visuals.

very helpful

Gives a foundational understanding to slow processing and executive function challenges. it was helpful to read what information overload is like for the slow processor. Highly recommend!

Addicted to parenting self help books!

I am hooked on parenting self help books! This book was exactly in that category but I’m so glad I stumbled upon it! It opened my eyes to what we are experiencing with our daughter. This book gave a great deal of information on tools to help at home and what you can do to advocate for your child at school. I highly recommend this book!

So helpful to all parents whether your child seems to be a "step" behind or not. With all of the academic, behavioral, cognitive and emotional challenges our kids face, this book addresses the processing speed to which we all have and how it can relate to a child's issues. Invaluable information. If you are a teacher or parent, read it now! It will save you and the kids in your life heartache.

informative

enjoyed the topics and flow of the book. It shed light on the testing and some treatment options. Although I would have liked to hear more about treatment regimes. This book overall good listen.

Good, but lacking

I enjoyed the book except I felt like it was lacking. I was hoping for my techniques of how to help those with slow processing speed vs just hearing examples of what slow processing speed is.
