"Marvin's Monster Diary: ADHD Attacks has recently been added to my arsenal. It has been a terrific tool for my younger clients as it has helped them open up about their own struggles with ADHD. The book has given them new skills and tools to cope with their challenges . . . Thank you so much for this simple and fun book that both coaches and parents can use effectively with their respective clients or children."
