The Special Potential of the Distracted Child
Description
Book Introduction
Revised and Expanded Edition of the Best-Seller in the ADHD Field
"This book offers hope for children to develop their weaknesses into talents."
"A Must-Read for Parents of Children with ADHD"
“What a clear and concise book!”
A revised and expanded edition of "The Special Potential of Inattentive Children," which has become a steady seller in the ADHD field thanks to word-of-mouth from parents who have read the book and learned about their children's strengths and gained confidence that even inattentive children can be raised successfully, has been published.
Guide and analysis of the latest Wechsler Intelligence Scale.
With the addition of a study guide for distractible children, it will become a more detailed guide for parents and teachers dealing with distractible children.
“Why does my child have to say the same thing over and over again to understand?”
Even if my child is a child who has trouble concentrating or is impulsive,
If parents know their child well, they can turn their child's strengths into strengths!
A child who has to be repeated over and over again for them to understand, a child who keeps breaking rules and has trouble getting along with friends, a child who bumps into things and is always covered in bruises, a child who often loses things - these are children who are distracted.
According to American psychiatrist William Dawson, these distracted children hear negative language more than 20,000 times in their lifetime compared to their peers.
And the most common thing these children's parents hear is the comforting words, 'It'll be okay when you grow up...'
Many people view 'distraction' as something that needs to be fixed, so they give the child a negative evaluation and comfort the parent by saying that it will get better.
But the distracted child is wronged.
This is because distraction is a unique characteristic of a child that needs to be carefully nurtured and raised, rather than being fixed.
《The Special Potential of the Distracted Child》 is a book that started from this perspective.
I approached my child's distractibility as something to be 'dealt with' rather than something to 'fix'.
The author studied cognitive science at Seoul National University and worked as a research fellow at the Language and Thinking Laboratory, where he studied brain science and encountered children with attention deficit disorder.
Since then, I have been interested in the latest brain science research and the development of cognitive function enhancement programs that can restore the potential of such children, and I am helping children's brain development.
This book is for parents of children with inattentiveness, explaining how scientific advancements have led to inattentive behavior being labeled as a problem behavior, and teaching the neuroscientific causes underlying inattentive behavior.
This allows us to focus on the potential that children possess.
In doing so, it suggests specific ways to help children with distractibility at home with common difficulties such as learning difficulties or poor adjustment in peer relationships.

Publisher's Review
Neurodiversity Talents in the Spotlight of Cutting-Edge Brain Science
Focus on the unique thinking of a distracted child.
Recent studies have focused on the creative talents of distractible children.
In 2017, the Harvard Business Review published an article titled “Neurodiversity as a Competitive Edge,” which covered the innovations that global IT companies Google, Microsoft, and Ford achieved by discovering neurodiverse talent with ADHD, dyslexia, and Asperger’s syndrome.
It suggests new possibilities by showing how people who 'use their brains in different ways' function 'differently and competently.'
In this book, "The Special Potential of the Distracted Child," it is said that, historically speaking, distractibility has only recently begun to be considered a problem that "hinders social adaptation."
As society has become more sophisticated, distraction has suddenly become a characteristic that has begun to be viewed as a 'problem', but in fact, various studies, including those in brain science, have recently revealed that there are many strengths that come with it.
Research shows that people with ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger's syndrome, and other conditions use their brain functions slightly differently than normal people, resulting in differences in their perception of the world and way of thinking.
Like Andy Warhol and Picasso, who had dyslexia but were incredibly creative, neurodiverse individuals demonstrate a remarkable ability to come up with creative and original ideas.
Even if your child is well-behaved, if he or she often spaces out, he or she may be distracted!
Self-diagnosis of attention deficit, hyperactivity, temperament, and parenting attitude, etc.
Includes a checklist to help you read the minds of children and parents.
Nonetheless, parents of distracted children have many concerns.
Because my child gets hurt often, fights easily with friends, and sometimes doesn't hesitate to engage in risky behavior, I have no choice but to constantly keep a close eye on his every move.
It is also true that children who have difficulty concentrating and conversing with others, who miss facial expressions and thus fail to notice when others are upset, and who often miss the teacher's instructions and quickly forget lessons are disadvantaged in their relationships with friends and school life.
In particular, this book also deals with the so-called 'spacing out child', who is well-behaved and does not seem to be a distracted child at first glance, but who needs to repeat the same words over and over again to understand, keeps dropping things, and often fights with friends because he or she does not follow the rules of play.
"The Special Potential of the Distracted Child" offers suggestions for children and parents experiencing these difficulties, from diagnosis to home training methods.
To help parents determine whether their child is truly distracted, we have included various 'simple diagnostic checklists' such as the Attention Deficit Self-Diagnosis, Hyperactivity Self-Diagnosis, and Temperament Diagnosis Table.
This allows you to check in advance whether the situation requires urgent professional help or if it is better to wait a bit.
If you need expert help, we also provide information on various brain science and psychology measurement tools and how the analysis is performed through which tests.
In addition, we have compiled and proposed various situations and solutions so that parents can anticipate and provide assistance to difficulties that their distracted children may experience during school life or studying.
Through this book, parents will be able to ease their worries, understand their children better with a broader mind, and raise them to be bright and shining children.
