Increasing attention and self-regulation capabilities right from kindergarten means providing children with the essential «tools» needed both for taking full advantage of this school experience and getting ready for admission into primary school.
This book offers a didactic and psycho-educational workshop divided into 20 encounters, in which an entertaining guide, Rino the duck, accompanies pupils in their discovery and learning about rules on their surroundings and on interpersonal exchanges, co-operation, the passing of time, the most effective ways for dealing with stimuli and attentive resources and much more. Each unit is preceded with a brief overview of its objectives, materials and procedures to be used in the classroom and comes with a series of worksheets.
Based on rigorous research results, the workshop, designed for 5 year-olds, is preceded by a training programme with strategies for increasing attention and self-control.
There is also a complementary software available: Workshop to increase attention (CD-ROM).
- Early identification of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and its profiles
