Some kids have brains that move fast. Really fast. Their thoughts jump, their bodies wiggle, their words come out before they mean them to, and slowing down can feel almost impossible.
Oops! My Brain Is Fast helps kids understand their energy, movement, and impulsivity in a way that feels compassionate instead of shame-based. Through Ngozi’s story, kids learn that their brain is not bad or “too much.” It is fast, creative, energetic, and capable of learning tools that help.
This workbook blends storytelling, psychoeducation, movement-friendly strategies, and practical skill-building to help kids work with their fast brains instead of constantly fighting against them.
