Publisher's Synopsis
Sometimes your child has a lot of trouble focusing and staying on task, being more distracted than usual by their own thoughts. It's a common challenge for kids with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). They can have trouble calming down to get through tasks, like homework or schoolwork.
To help manage the challenges of ADHD in children, parents may want to try an app called Moment that you can download onto your smartphone or tablet. Moment is designed specifically for young people with ADHD who struggle to find ways to calm themselves down and focus on things that matter.
Moment's aim is to teach your child healthy coping strategies for dealing with their ADHD and getting on task. This app is designed for you to clearly communicate your expectations to your child. You can also set a goal of how much time you want them spending on Moment, so when they are ready, they can use the app at their own pace.
Moment uses three simple steps to help improve focus: Sit-Downs, Quiet Time, and Activity Tracker. When going through these steps, your child will focus on the moment and not be distracted by their thoughts or worries about the future or past. This helps them be more productive and focused throughout the day.

Moment helps kids who have trouble with their attention and focus to:
1. Have a quiet time - using the Quiet Time feature, you can pause the smartphone and set four "reserved hours" each day to help your child focus on the moment. The app will let you know when it's time to pause, and it won't be interrupted by calls or text messages.
2. Sit down - during Sit-Downs, your child will have a 90 second break from their phone. They will learn how to be in the present moment at these times by practicing breathing exercises and being gentle with themselves when doing so.
3. Track activities - using the Activity Tracker feature, your child will be able to see how they spend their day so they can improve their productivity and work toward a goal you set. They can use this information to think about whether what they are doing at that moment is helping them meet their goals.
