Louis is a verb!

He has a lot of trouble focusing and he is always doing something, but the problem is usually it’s the wrong something.

“It’s hard to be a verb! My knees start itching, my toes start twitching, my skin gets jumpy, others get grumpy. When it comes to sitting still it s just not my deal. Haven’t you heard… I am a verb!”

Louis’s mom teaches him how to focus by showing him a few hands on ideas that anyone can try. A must have book for all who struggle with paying attention!
