[quote=Anonymous]I think it was easier for us because my ADHD kiddos the younger one, so my older kid was better able to understand why there were sometimes differences. Also she loves going out to eat, so she knew the only way it would happen was if we could control his behavior.

We didn’t really have to do screens for dinner, but definitely for car rides. Dinners we could get through with fidget toys and restaurants without a lot of waiting and where a little bit of noise wasn’t an issue. In another year or two things may well improve also. At 7 I rarely wanted to go out with him, at 11 I barely even remember how bad it was.

My kid gets more screen time than he should, and I do feel like his behavior is worse on days with a lot of screen time. He’s pretty good about entertaining himself if I say no screens-but they are always his default first choice. Luckily his choice of things to watch has improved a bit which has also helped. Less frenetic, bright videos and more calm, science and engineering or maker videos.
