My Whirling Twirling Motor

Charlie feels like he has a whirling, twirling motor running inside him all the time and sometimes he just can amp rsquo t settle. When his mom wants to talk to him, he figures he amp rsquo s in trouble amp hellip but she has a surprise for him instead!

Includes a Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Teachers with more information on ADHD, behavior management, and helping children focus on the positives.

amp quot The story reinforces that his being overactive and impulsive is not intentional and does not make him bad. The young narrator eventually internalizes his parents'' focus on his accomplishments, rather than his challenges, and he wonders what positive things he will do tomorrow...A must-have for young readers with any type of behavior difficulty and their caregivers. amp quot -School Library Journal (Starred Review)
