Boredom in Parenting Is as Hard as It Gets

Published: April 14, 2016, midnight

Are you a parent of an ADHD child? Do you have ADHD?  Do you beat yourself up for being a bad parent, not playing with your kid, pacifying them with electronics? It's possible the elephant in the room is boredom, and you’re not alone. Many adults with ADHD struggle to play with their kids, particularly if it's not stimulating. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Caroline Maguire (www.necoaching.com), an ADHD mom with ADHD kids, and talk about that experience of boredom and how you’re not actually a bad parent.  If this speaks to you, you have to tune into the show. Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit disorder, adults with ADD, or adults who have children with ADHD. Attention Talk Radio, hosted by attention coach Jeff Copper, is designed to help adults and children (particularly those diagnosed with or impacted by attention deficit disorder or its symptoms) in life or business who are stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated.
