Why Can't Jimmy Sit Still?
Helping Children Understand ADHD
by Sandra L. Tunis
art by Maeve Kelly
Jimmy
behaves like a wiggle-worm. He squirms. He fidgets. He calls out in
class and just can’t settle down. “What is wrong with
Jimmy?” his friend, the narratorof the story, asks.
Jimmy’s
mother likens his behavior to a motor stuck in high gear and takes him
to see a doctor who gently talks about ADHD, attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder. Working as a team, Jimmy, his mom and his
doctor institute a plan to help Jimmy take better control of his time
and make wiser choices.
Designed
to help and teach kids, parents, eduactors and caregivers to open
discussions about hyperactivity, this comforting and charming rhyming
story reassures youngsters with ADHD that they are not to blame for
their “racing motors.”
