By Stephie McCumbee

Like Hunter Lane, all kids can quickly get distracted. This fun story helps them focus.

Hunter loves to read about space, draw pictures about space, and imagines himself soaring through the atmosphere as an astronaut some day Unfortunately for Hunter, his day dreams about space are interfering with his ability to get his work done in class.

Hunter forgets to study for a test because he spent his time reading about space instead. Then, in class, he let his imagination wander, and missed most of the lesson.

Finally, his teacher, Mrs. Julian stops him from his daydreaming.

With help from his dad and Mrs. Julian, Hunter learns the steps to completing a task. Will he be able to use those steps and strategies in class and learn the value of completing even the simplest of missions?

Children can quickly and repeatedly get distracted, lose focus, and fail to follow through. In this book, children learn the steps to Completing a Task, staying focused, and the value of finishing their work.

Tips for parents, counselors and educators are also included. There is also a companion workbook with activities that help your child stay on task and stay focused. Look for the Spacing Out Activity Guide to drive home the lessons.
