"Barbara Sher's new book Attention Games is
just the sort of fresh contribution we need right now in a culture gone
mad with labeling kids as 'ADHD.' Her simple games and activities are
wonderful for helping kids of all ages focus their attention while learning
new things, thinking in new ways, and exploring the world around them.
Parents, if you believe your child is inattentive, think Attention Games
first, and Ritalin later (much later!)."

"Attention Games by Barbara Sher is a great book for parents, caregivers and therapists. This book provides creative activities that help you gain and maintain a child's attention from infants to teenagers. Many of the activities are simple and don't require any extra materials other than yourself. Barbara provides you with a fun way to interact with your child at different stages of life while explaining "What's Being Learned". She also gives alternative example and ideas. This book is a must have for any parent and I will use this as a fellow therapist in my practice as well. Hats off to Barbara for providing us with a sensational resource!" Link to full review.
