Reading with Your Kids Podcast Starring Merriam Sarcia Saunders – author of “My Whirling Twirling Motor”
Happy Tuesday everyone,
We’re happy to be back with another fun-filled episode of the Reading with Your Kids Podcast! We’re proud to introduce an educational picture book My Whirling, Twirling Motor (Magination Press/APA), a positive spin on the way we look at our kids with ADHD. The book is written by Merriam Sarcia Saunders, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in parent behavior coaching for ADHD. Merriam writes books about kids with AD/HD, Autism, OCD, and Anxiety to help kids see themselves in her stories.
In our exciting interview, Merriam talks about My Whirling, Twirling Motor, her passion for helping people with ADHD, Learning Differences and Autism. She hopes that one day all those books will help kids see themselves in my stories and help grownups understand those kids.
