Life as the parent of a child with ADHD — I was surprised to learn — can get very repetitive. Why? To keep our easily distracted kids on track and moving through the task at hand, we have to repeat every step, every single day, in exactly the same way.
I return to Mom-related tasks in the kitchen. Several more minutes pass and I sense it’s time for another progress check. With just 8 minutes to spare, my fully dressed child finally emerges – with a LEGO — to show me his latest design. I get it. Routines provide structure, but I can’t help worrying that all that structure doesn’t leave any room for spontaneity. Manylive rich lives in their heads. They are so full of their own imagination and creativity; doesn’t structure interfere with all that?
