Take the “T” out of “CAN’T” and the “DON’T” out of “I DON’T KNOW”!
Wade doesn’t understand why things like math and spelling seem so easy for other kids but so hard for him. His brain doesn’t seem to work right, and he can’t focus with all the stuff going on in his head. He tries so hard, but feels like he stinks at everything!
Just when he is about to give up, Wade’s Fantabulous Brain comes to the rescue. By using tools in his “Brain Tool Box,” Wade learns how to give his brain a tune up, making it stronger and more efficient. He also visits a Brain Trainer, a special brain mechanic, who teaches him how to work smarter not harder.
With a little time and a lot of hard work, Wade is amazed what he can accomplish when he and his Fantabulous Brain work together!
Learning doesn’t come easy for many children. They struggle with schoolwork, have trouble focusing, and can’t make sense of instructions. Oftentimes, these challenges can cause children to internalize their struggles and question their abilities. My Fantabulous Brain helps children understand that everyone needs help sometimes, and there are people who can give us the tools we need to make our brains stronger!
