Focused Ninja: A Children's Book About Increasing Focus and Concentration at Home and School

I like this book for my 7 year old son and we are 8 books into the collection.

Our son NEEDS this book. He's messy, impulsive, and easily distracted. If you have that kid, this is the book for you. Also if you have that kid, this book will probably be a helpful way into some conversations that need to happen. Our other two kids do not have attentional issues and this book is not nearly so relatable for them. We've parked it on the book shelf in the room where it needs to live.

I guess it's not completely terrible. But for a $12 sticker price, I expect some substance. There's just a couple helpful tips for staying focused. Here it is: remove distractions, stay healthy, be organized. There's not even really good story for engaging kid readers. Could have been a free leaflet from a counselor's office.

Seems like advice from someone who thinks they "get it" when it comes to ADHD. The result is a cute book with some well-meaning, but empty advice. I will have my daughter read it and give her own feedback, but as an adult with adhd, I fear this book will be detrimental to kids who have a true neural difference and find the advice difficult to put into use.For your neurotypical kid who just gets bored easily, this is a cute little story. Still not worth $12

This is such a great book! Its relatable and entertaining, so my son and his cousin ask me to read it again and again! Which I don't mind since it's teaching them how to increase their focus, and its definitely working! After reading this my 4 yo decided to sit in the front of the class he had just started! He also has a new appreciation for clean up time, because now he knows he's organizing to help him maintain his Focus!
