Summary
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Read this book and understand processing speed!
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.

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.

Just dumb
Boring, unhelpful. Wish I could delete it from my Audible library. I suppose lost self help books are pretty bad, but I would put this toward the bottom of the heap.
