Editorial Review: Product Description: HUNTER and HIS AMAZING REMOTE CONTROL is a unique, cognitive-behavioral approach to teaching self-control to children whether or not they have ADD or ADHD. Using the buttons on their "amazing" remote controls, children learn how to improve self-monitoring, impulse control, and self-confidence. This book contains an activity guide and an illustrated storybook with reproducible remote control covers. Through Hunter's story, students hear how he learned to use his very special remote control.
