•How can we help children learn to concentrate? How can we get them to understand that it’s not a punishment, instead, it will allow them to learn better and faster – leaving them more time to do what they please? How can you explain that by taming their energy, and focusing their attention, everything becomes easier, quicker and more fun?
•That was Jean-Philippe Lachaux’s mission in creating this comic book in which he explains to young people, in a simple, accessible and entertaining way, what is going on inside their heads and how to focus their attention better – not just at school, but for all sorts of other activities, too!
