Even before reading the words in this book, the illustrations may seem familiar. This is true because illustrator Jim Durk continues to make use of the artist facet of his strong non-verbal intelligence as he did when he created Clifford of Clifford the Big Red Dog and Thomas in Thomas and Friends.    Likewise, the author, Andrew Jordan Nance, utilizes his great imagination to portray the surplus of attention that often accompanies the strong non-verbal thinkers for whom the Davis program makes all the difference in the world. 

As shown on our Thinking Style page, 80% of us possess the capacity to think about things in a creative way.  Our Characteristics page and AD(H)D page show that sometimes that roaming creativity can be like a Puppy Mind.

Too often this free-range attention spread throughout the environment is deemed a negative, a dis-ability, something to be corrected.  In fact, when strong nonverbal thinkers realize this distractibility is an indicator of what is right with them, not what is wrong with them, they can take pride in their 'puppy mind' and use it to their advantage.    
​
Contact Elsie to investigate how behaviors considered Attention DEFICIT can be more accurately described as Attention SURPLUS.  By learning how to take advantage of a natural way of thinking, pride and responsibility replaces shame often associated with Puppy Mind.
