I Can't Remember All That!: A Book for Kids with Working Memory Issues Including Those with Adhd, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Asd

by Tracy Packiam Alloway

"Why can't I remember what my parents just asked me to do? Why do I feel stressed out at school when the teacher is writing on the board and talking at the same time? And what can I do about it? Working memory issues affect a huge proportion of kids with learning differences like ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ASD. These issues can make them feel frustrated or bored, as working memory and intelligence are two very different things. Kids with working memory problems can also act out in the classroom and at home. In this child-friendly and authoritative guide, international working memory expert Dr Tracy Packiam Alloway walks you through what working memory is, what it feels like to have problems with your working memory, and what you can do about it. She presents key tips and strategies, such as the benefits of eating chocolate or of barefoot running, that will help children both at home and at school, and includes a section at the end for adults describing how we can test for working memory issues"--

I thought this was a good book with lots of great ideas. I liked how it could be read with children (Tommy), so they could understand and try some suggestions, too. It was a quick read, but had good ideas, although I'm not too sure about the barefoot running (too many stones where I live!).
