Ideas / Interventions: Kids and parents "get" this book, but parents of kids with ADHD "really get" this book! As you read this book with clients, help them pay attention to the body language of the boy in the story. Ask them to say how they think the boy is feeling, what the boy might want to do, or how the mouse could help the boy instead of creating more work for him. Discuss basic social skills and how they relate to the mouse and boy in the book.
