I kept putting off this book because it was chonky looking and I didn't want chonky. It's actually very accessible and quick to read. There's lots of white space, big text, and different formatting.

I was recommended this book because I was looking for practical tips and guidance. This book offers that but more importantly it includes the why, which is something a lot of books miss out.

PuddleJumper Explaining why something might work means I am more likely to try it. Telling me to go for a walk will not work. Explaining why going for a walk might help my brain reset, give me a break, and maybe some dopamine means I'm more likely to try it.

There was a good balance between anecdotal, factual and practical. I would definitely recommend it as a starting point.

BookishMarginalia Weighted plushie! 2w
PuddleJumper @BookishMarginalia 😅 It's a new thing in trying. I think I need something a bit heavier 2w
BookishMarginalia I have 4 weighted plushies right now, for the different textures. A sloth from Bearaby (woven texture), one furry Highland Cow from Snuggle Pals, and a super soft squishy Parrot and baby parrot from Pillowfort at Target. The Target kids decor section is the only place I have found weighted plushies in real life. 2w
PuddleJumper @BookishMarginalia I'm in the UK and you can get them in kids shops here. Heaviest I've seen is 3kg. I wanted a Hug-a-Lump because they come in different weights but I didn't like the texture.

The cat is a store brand one, it's so soft. I picked it up and just carried it around rubbing it's ear so it may work more as a comfort one.

I really like the texture and squish of the kenji toys. I use them to cuddle and rest my arms on when sitting

BookishMarginalia Just looked up the Kenji toys — they are so cute! 2w

Well, of course, I am indecisive, plus perfectionistic, so had to change it up. Had to be honest with myself about what I really wanted to read.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3w

Pretty cute retelling of The Taming of the Shrew, with a good side dish of spice!

julieclair Fun choices! A Grilled Cheese Mystery series? Bring on the punny titles! 2mo
OriginalCyn620 @julieclair I love puns in general, so I like a good book title pun too! (edited) 2mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I don't usually find myself reaching for a cozy mystery, but browsing the covers in the bookstore leaves me laughing like a kid every time. Puns & pets are always welcome! 2mo

“If we can actively love, there will be no attention deficit and no disorder”. What an awesome book. Helped me a lot in understanding myself

I read this because of #ISpyBingoSept bathing suit promp. @TheAromaofBooks
Geared to young teens, but all this kid does is give rants. The topic was good, too long of nothing happening, and then a cliffhanger. I'm not reading book 2.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 2mo

The last thing I thought I would learn about myself while reading a book about ADHD, is that I was neglected as a child

I loved the transparency of who got money from where in relation to therapies and methods discussed in the book. I loved their ideas about how schools and parenting need to change for ADHD children (and probably all children if we‘re being honest).
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics I was a little troubled by the support for ABA therapy, given the number of autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD people traumatised by it. They did address this and said that it could be done without causing this trauma, but most of the trauma wasn‘t discovered or understood until years later, so personally, I‘d ere on the side of caution and avoid; but that‘s just me. Over all, I felt very seen by everything in this book. 2mo
