[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My adhd kid is also like this. But your kid is only 8. I wouldn’t be stressed about needing to remind at this age, as much as it is a pain. My adhd kid listens to audiobooks in the shower and hers take forever. So don’t go down that path, lol. She started them because she was absolutely refusing to shower, but they definitely slow her down. I would probably let your kid decide whether they would prefer [b]a playlist or alarms for reminders. [/quote][/b] If a kid is zoning out, there’s a reason - they have been overstimulated all day and they need a break. Shower is ideal for that. Setting a bunch of alarms during a needed mental break sounds horrifying to me as someone with ADHD. I think OP needs to view the shower as serving a purpose for her daughter, other than just washing, and understand that it’s ok if not every shower includes washing hair/body comprehensively.[/quote]
