Attention Regulation Program – Harness Your Hunter Energy – Grade 4 and Up @ Eckert Psychology

Thomas Brown (Think Fast) developed the analogy of a “hunter brain” to describe people who have difficulty regulating their attention. Like hunters (who are either in the field tracking their prey or relaxing by the campfire), people with attention regulation challenges are either “on” (i.e. very focused and determined) or “off” (i.e. have difficulty focusing mental energy and effort). The Harness Your Hunter Energy program helps students build greater control over whether they are “on” when they need to be (e.g. when studying or completing homework). The program consists of 8 lessons, ongoing consultation with a psychologist, and regular progress reports (appropriate for students aged 9 and up).
