[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP and I appreciate the perspective above that she may exhaust all her energy during the day. That is fair. My concern is that at home she just wants to watch YouTube on the tv because she is bored and not motivated to do anything else. The middle school years are rough and activities help you make friends, build confidence, and learn new skills. I accept she is not into sports but I want her to find her interests and strengths and you can’t do that without trying new things. [/quote] So OP when you say she would like to sit around at home and do nothing, you don't mean that. You mean that she wants to self-entertain on screens. Screens are overstimulating and for a kid this age with ADHD, the dopamine hit is too much for them to overcome. Lock your TV down and set time limits. She won't find her interests and strengths until she runs out of screen time. [/quote]
