title: Nine Wonderful Months B'Sha'ah Tovah: The Jewish Woman's Clinical and Halachic Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth
author: Rabbi Baruch Finkelstein
description: From the acclaimed educator and social skills specialist, Mrs. Rifka Schonfed has done it again! Meet another of Pinny's friends, Nochum "the troublemaker." When Nochum calls out in class, cuts in line, and loses the place in his sefer, everyone assumes he is irresponsible and unmotivated. However, with the help of his teachers and parents, Nochum realizes that his scattered behavior results from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). With a few adjustments and renewed understanding, Pinny watches Nochum transform from troublemaker to focused friend and student. A must-read for parents, educators, and children.
