The Focused Mouse

Mouse is admired by his family, friends, and teachers for his knack for staying on task, tuning out distractions, and reaching every goal he sets, no matter what stands in his way. Hard situations never stop him for long. Yet this was not always the case, since at one time he struggled badly to concentrate.

The change began when his friend Fox passed along a small, simple tip that transformed how Mouse approached his work. The book explains that tip and how families can use it to help growing children develop emotional maturity, mental toughness, and resilience.

The story covers how to enter a state of focus quickly and effectively, a skill that works for both children and adults. It also explores the value of training mental habits and how those habits shape concentration, along with the lesson of delaying gratification and getting more done in less time.

Charlotte Dane writes for young readers with a clear grasp of how children think and feel, producing tales that teach as well as entertain. The book belongs to the Teach Me How! Children's Book Series, which introduces essential life skills, mindsets, and routes to success and happiness through endearing characters and a good deal of humor. It is aimed at children ages 3 to 11 and at the adults who guide them, including parents, caregivers, teachers, relatives, and coaches.
