How is a book born? Well, I can't speak for all authors, but my first book, How To Get Your Child Off the Refrigerator and On To Learning was written purely in response to all the kind and encouraging comments that resulted from this webpage. From the many letters received from around the world (yes - U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and India), I noticed similar questions arising. I knew that folks were hungering for some useful information and fresh perspective that just wasn't available in the current books addressing the needs of our special kids. So I took some time off of homeschooling (which delighted my children...until the make-up days arrived mid-summer) and put all my thoughts on paper. The final result was published by Emerald Publishing. If you've not yet seen the book, I hope it will be a help and delight to you. If you already have a copy of the book though, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Carol's first book -- (get ready) How to Get your Child off the Refrigerator and on to Learning: Homeschooling Highly Distractible, ADHD, or Just Plain Fidgety Kids -- was created to provide practical tips on reaching and teaching highly distractible kids. The book has the perspective of a mom who understands the difficulties and pressures parents face (just like you), while stressing the positive side of high-energy kids. It is filled with ideas, games, and approaches a homeschooling mom (or dad) or classroom teacher can use right away to teach math, reading, or whatever to our precious children, who also happen to be highly distractible.
Carol's second book -- If I'm Diapering a Watermelon, Then Where'd I Leave the Baby: Help for the Highly Distractible Mom -- is again loaded with practical tips. This time, Carol turned her humor to the needs of moms dealing with the pressures and stresses of everyday life (plus, for some, homeschooling). What hasn't changed is Carol's focus on seeing the gift you have been given.
