[quote=Anonymous]The world is not set up for kids to go around choosing what to devote their attention to. To be successful in life, you need to devote your attention to things you may not necessarily want to most of the time. I don't want to devote my attention to laundry, cleaning, running most errands, walking the dog when it is freezing or raining outside, doing boring, pointless tasks at work, etc. The list is endless. If you didn't do those things, what would your life be like? It would be a mess, literally and figuratively. We can't always devote our attention to things that interest us. Well, not unless you are extremely wealthy and even those people remind us of grown-up children. My son has ADHD and he has some super creative ideas and he will find his place in life. But in the meantime, he has to learn how to devote his attention to the rest of his life. He needs to do his laundry every week, get up on time for school, do boring assignments, study for subjects he doesn't care about, read books he isn't interested in, etc. [/quote]
