[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can tell that you care an awful lot about your kids.  Maybe your parents lack of interest in you growing up has steered you into becoming more or over involved in your kids lives.  Also, an interest in CNN doesn't equate a "lack" of empathy.

I agree with PPs that you can't make someone creative.  However, our extended families noticed that the time the cousins spent together over the holidays was being taken over by iPads.  There was little interaction.  We banned electronics at the last get together and the kids put on a play.  Necessity truly is the mother of invention.

If she's interested in cooking/baking, I'd sign her up for a cooking class and this is something you guys can learn to do together.

Lastly, every bump in the road doesn't indicate ADHD or other learning disability.  You do seem a little anxious, so you may want to talk to someone about your anxiety level.  Before you go down the road of developmental pediatricians or neuropsych evaluations, take a look at yourself.  If your kid was in need of assessment, you'd probably be getting other indications, like from teachers etc.  An assessment of some kind may be in order but for now it sounds more like she is suffering primarily from electronics withdrawal.
