Video games are fun, social, and even skill-building — but if your child has ADHD, gaming can quickly become a serious challenge. ⚡
In this episode, ADHD coach Annie Adjan explains why the ADHD brain responds differently to video games, how "cheap dopamine" floods the brain during gaming, and why unmanaged gaming habits can lead to emotional struggles, academic issues, and even gaming addiction. 🎮
You'll learn:
✅ Why ADHD makes it harder to regulate video game use
✅ How to create healthy, sustainable gaming boundaries
✅ How to collaborate with your teen to strengthen executive function skills like planning, prioritization, and self-control
✅ How to avoid punishment and build real-life skills instead
Remember, you're not fighting against video games—you’re helping your child build a brain that can handle them.
