By: Lang, Alvin S.

ADHD book for kids - Meet Jennifer in the first heart-centered story of the My Thought Buddy series.
When My Thoughts Wouldn't Slow Down is a comforting and empowering story that helps children navigate racing thoughts, sensory overwhelm, and bedtime worries.

Jennifer has a very good brain-sometimes too good.
When she tries to sleep, her thoughts bounce and zoom with big questions, fun facts, and buzzing worries.
"But did you know a blue whale's heart is as big as a CAR?" one thought exclaims.
Jennifer just wants quiet, but the thoughts are under the blanket, too.

Then Jennifer discovers a clever secret.
She gives her busy brain a special job: to think of all the green things.
As the thoughts list grass, frogs, broccoli, and even the stripe on a sock, something magical happens... the whirring begins to slow.

This beautifully illustrated children's book is essential for kids with ADHD and anxiety.
It also serves as a wonderful autism book for kids who experience sensory overload.
Through Jennifer's gentle strategy, young readers learn that a very busy brain can also be a very good brain.

Perfect for bedtime or anytime worries feel too big, this story provides a simple, creative technique to guide thoughts toward calm.
It offers a tangible tool and a hopeful message: your thoughts are part of you, and that's okay.
