Helping Kids With ADHD Manage Screen Time


Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, can be specially challenged by the abundance of internet based activities today. Video games and online chat rooms pose more problems for children with ADHD than usual. Children with ADHD are more likely to lose track of time and engage in risky behavior online.
Parents should find constructive ways to help children with ADHD rest, pay attention, and develop meaningful relationships. Limiting how children interact online, and regulating their screen time, especially around bed time or homework time, can also help them succeed in being successful while having ADHD. Good parenting is the best treatment for ADHD.
