The Attention Thief Peter Orlando

So many people suffer from the overabundance of their virtues. Much suffering, misunderstanding and rejection by our loved ones and friends occur from the best of intentions. When it comes to sharing time, all these factors come into play in an intense manner. Time is one of the most previous gifts that we have as human beings. Mental health depends upon how we share this gift with one another. When any one of us demands too much of it, the person next to us is forced to go without what he or she needs to survive and thrive: attention. This book is designed to assist children manage their needs for attention in tandem with their peers. It is a story about how giving to others what we want the most creates community and trust.
