Bright Kids Who Can't Keep Up

Help Your Child Overcome Slow Processing Speed and Succeed in a Fast-Paced World

By: Ellen Braaten PhD, Brian Willoughby PhD

Narrated by: Lisa Cordileone

Do you find yourself constantly asking your child to "pick up the pace"? Does he or she seem to take longer than others to get stuff done - whether completing homework, responding when spoken to, or getting dressed and ready in the morning? Drs. Ellen Braaten and Brian Willoughby have worked with thousands of kids and teens who struggle with an area of cognitive functioning called "processing speed" and who are often mislabeled as lazy or unmotivated. Filled with vivid stories and examples, this crucial resource demystifies processing speed and shows how to help kids (ages five to 18) catch up in this key area of development.

very helpful

Gives a foundational understanding to slow processing and executive function challenges. it was helpful to read what information overload is like for the slow processor. Highly recommend!

How relatable it was.

Some of the PDFs weren’t available. The readings of the sample summaries at the end were difficult to follow along to without visuals.

Loved the tips! So practical!!

I’m an educator and I would recommended this book for parents and educators to get ideas when working with students who always seem behind but you know they are capable.

I’m not alone

As a parent to a child who is newly diagnosed with adhd-inattentive type and sluggish cognitive tempo this book helped me know that I’m not alone and gave me a great explanation to these new and uncharted waters of parenting. Highly recommend

Enlightening

So helpful in elucidating a rarely discussed and all important dynamic in families with slow processing members. This book has put us on the path of hope. Thank you for writing this book!
