If your child has ADHD, ADD, learning disabilities or is a high functioning child on the autism spectrum this book is for you. As you probably are aware by now that these children do not recognizing social nuances, they lack of proper etiquette and have poor hygiene. This book will help them understand how others perceive their appearance and the social implications of neglecting personal hygiene. My son has curly hair and bad breath in the morning. It sure makes it easier to explain why we need to fix his unruly bed head and brush away the dragon breath!
While the author recommends this book for 9 - 12 years. I think she means if they were to read this book on their own. I have been reading this book with my son since he was 6 years old and he gets it! Of course, there are some chapters at this point which do not apply to him yet. However, we do from time to time read the chapter on puberty and funny smells. This was it will not be a shock to him one day, but also so he does not insult a child who may have body odors. I give this book my thumbs up and think you will too!
