I swear “wiggle fidgets” must have been written about my son! I’m praying the school is open minded to some of the suggestiond given in the book, to help Zac (6 yrs old)control himself. Thanks you so much for bringing attention to the need for “individual” education. All kids are different, and need to be treated so.
Oh yeah, I already have wiggle fidgets on my kindle, but would LOVE to have any of the other books in the series. Thank you.
Hello Brandi!
Sorry for the delay – we have had great responses! Be sure to tell Zac he is a “Genius in Progress”! We are gifting the other book in the series with a boy as the main character. Remember, moms become parent warriors for children who need extra support! Advocacy, support and unconditional love are the ingredients for healthy self esteem for children! Print the endorsements for the series and offer them to his teachers. Many teachers have attended conferences or have had continuing education classes; many of the endorsers should be familiar names to teachers and administrators. Good Luck! A great book that I just finished listening to (again), by Dr. Edward Hallowell, Superparenting for ADD: An Innovative Approach to Raising Your Distracted Child, is a great book. Highly recommended!
I bought the “Last to Finish” book because my oldest daughter was distraught over having to take timed tests on her times tables. No matter how well she knew them outside of timed tests, she would freeze up come test time … And then berate herself afterwards. It was an awful, heart-wrenching, vicious cycle for her to experience & for me, her mom, to witness. However, after sharing this book with her, she finally realized and was encouraged to know for a fact it wasn’t just her struggling with this. From the moment she said, “Wow, Mom, I guess there must be lots of kids that have a hard time memorizing multiplication facts, or they wouldn’t have written a book about it!”, her attitude has completely changed. She’s got her confidence back … She knows she will overcome this challenge, even if it takes a bit more time & work to do it … And that’s fine because that’s just the way she’s wired.
Thank you so much for writing this book, it was an answer to prayer!
Now I think we need the “Wiggle Fidgets” to share with our youngest daughter, who is a wiggle worm if ever there was one!
Thank you for writing! Please send you mailing address to info@mainstreamconnections.org – we would love to send the “Wiggle Fidgets” your way!
I just read “Wiggle Fidgets ” with my daughter. She has just been diagnosed with ADHD and is starting kindergarten in the fall. I hope I can use this book to help her. I also recomened this book series to my sister who is a teacher. Thanks, sometimes we find help in the most suprising places.
I have downloaded my copy of Wiggle fidgets thru Amazon . I really got enlightened about the facts, I thought my son aayush could not just resist doing something . Now after reading I just come to know what really the problem is.now I would like to have a book about dyslexia . I would be grateful if you could provide it.
Thank you

Hello!
We are running a promotion for “If You’re So Smart, How Come You Can’t Spell Mississippi?” with amazon kindle and apple iTunes for the month of July!
You can download for free!
Enjoy!
I can relate to the one about dyslexia and adhd very well. Even as an adult I still struggle with them on a regular basis. I read the one about dyslexia to a little girl I mentor to help her understand why I had trouble with reading.
I finished reading “If You’re So Smart, How Come You Can’t Spell Mississippi?” to my son of 7. I am waiting to get him tested for dyslexia. He tested gifted last yr and has been so frustrated and anxious about reading and writing. I will share that watching him struggle has been heart wrenching. He said tonight when we finished, “Hey mom you know that could be me. You know reading is tough for me, and I have a hard time.” I told him “I know, but you can do anything you dream of …” My son’s reply ” I know mama, and I know I’m not alone.”. Your book choked me up as a mom because I see his struggle, but his response left me thinking he will rise above this and he will do great. He also left me blubbering! Thank you for this book and how the story is told… he heard he could do this thing called life and come out on top.
my little girl struggles and am looking for books to help her

My daughter (3rd grade) and I just read the Mississippi book together. It was wonderful for both of us. She was diagnosed with dyslexia about 1 week ago and learning more about it helped me to realize why things like reading, spelling, handwriting and math facts and word problems were always so difficult for me. It was a very empowering book. Thank you. We will check out the others too.
Thank You for writing. It is amazing what we learn about ourselves through our children
This is a common theme with dyslexia.
