[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP- Cooking is a great idea. I am a terrible cook but maybe we can just watch some videos together and laugh about it while attempting the recipe. He does belong to a cyber security club which is twice a week after school. They have "competitions" every few weeks too but they are on Friday nights so no homework to get in the way. He loves it. He has never liked team sports and always did individual ones when he was younger but this cyber security club is team based. He is social pretty much every day after school ends and before I can pick him up. He either hangs out at school in the cafeteria with friends or they go across the street to Panera. So I feel like he is getting enough friend time during the week but I also have to try to get him to do more face to face friend things on the weekends. It's hard because I don't have any extra $$ (single parent and teacher) and he is kind of past the age for play dates. [/quote]

OP-- pp here. DS and I watch a tv show together- funny, but kind of a "thing" that we do. We used to watch the Discovery reality tv, but lately we've gotten into shows like Arrow and The Flash. With the med wear off and crazies, DS gets in pjs and we sometimes get tv treats (TJs popcorn and candy for us) and we watch on my laptop (I have a huge king sized bed). Then he heads off to his room and goes to sleep. We can only manage it about once per week now with homework and schedules, but we still try to make time. It kind of helps with the screen because he's still getting his "time" but it's social.

Yes, a lot of ADHDers like to cook--and if you're patient, it's pretty good for teaching more executive functioning skills. [/quote]
