Madso, Minnesota Parent magazine Bonnie J. Hinkemeyer is the mother of an active child. She I discovered there were few available materials for helping parents relate to children who can't sit still for long. Over a period of time she developed these activities which she discovered were able to improve her son's attention span. Raised on a 160-acre Hobby Farm south of St. Cloud, Minnesota: Bonnie has engaged in a variety of careers including day-care worker, beauty shop owner, and paper mill worker. She is currently a construction worker with a Class A license to operate heavy equipment.
