Is Your Child Really Listening?: One Minute Games to Help Kids Focus - Paperback

by Rhea Farbman (Author)

My students of all ages taught me they did not know how to listen. I learned that in order to be successful in my work, I would have to focus them before the lesson. You don't have to be a teacher to lead these games. Anyone can listen when we know what to do. We have to know what it feels like in the body and mind and then we can go right to that place. Kids love to have fun and they especially love to lead. These games work if you are the leader or the player. Both roles must listen carefully. People with special needs love these games too. Everyone loves these one minute games because they see results quickly.
