My name is Shawn, and I’m a 10 year old boy in the 4th grade. I started the Play Attention program in July 2013, and I have completed over 40 hours of play time. Prior to Play Attention my conduct grades at school would indicate I needed improvement. I would also talk a lot and play with pencils and erasers in my desk. My academic grades have always been very high, mostly As with a couple of Bs, so my parents felt that some of my inattention could be a result of boredom.
My mom and dad were looking for alternatives to medications, since they felt that was not the best solution for me. When a friend suggested Play Attention, they decided that the investment in the cost of the program would be money well spent if it meant that I didn’t take...
Luca has always appeared to be a “bright child” but struggled to channel his intellectual capacity into everyday school tasks. This is true of many children with attention problems. They are bright but their grades don’t reflect their true potential. He found it difficult to ‘focus’ in the classroom but tried hard. So why was he struggling?
