Any child will tell you: Video games are fun and exciting. It turns out they can be educational, too. Gaming can improve eye-hand coordination, and may foster positive social interactions.

Children with attention deficit disorder (ADHD or ADD) or little athletic interest or ability have an opportunity to compete in a different way, and to form friendships with like-minded gamers.But as solitary gaming steals time from sports, studies, or other peer activities for kids, an interest can become a video game addiction.Recent surveys show that children spend an average of 49 minutes a day on video games.

If a child’s video game console is in the bedroom, play time increases dramatically, to nearly three hours. Parents may unwittingly contribute

When Your Teen Refuses to Stay Home
Social distancing and stay-at-home orders are in place for roughly 95% of ADDitude readers. While necessary to protect lives and stifle the pandemic, a near-quarantine that stretches on for weeks and months will pose a significant struggle for many – particularly parents of impulsive, oppositional, unfazed teens with ADHD.

Calm and Connected Sweepstakes: Attend a PTS Coaching Workshop Session for Free!
There’s no question that stay-at-home orders have caused stress, anxiety, and loneliness. But for some parents of children with ADHD, a silver lining is beginning to appear: Fewer activities, obligations, and errands means more time for game nights, family walks, and time spent just “being together.” That’s not to say behavior challenges have diminished (they haven’t) or discipline is any easier (it’s not), but sometimes focusing on the pleasant surprises can get us through a tough day.

Closing the Gaps in Distance Learning: Strategies to Meet Educators’ Toughest Challenges
Remote learning during a global pandemic is challenging for everyone, but especially for children with special needs, multi-lingual learners, and other school-dependent students who rely on supports and structures to learn. As an assistant principal and history teacher at a New York City high school, I am asked often about the challenges that this unique learning situation presents for educators. I am not an expert in remote learning, but the conversations and struggles at my school may shed some light and offer solutions to educators during this extraordinary time.

The Creative Pain Scale You Need to See If You're Tired of Rating Your Pain From 1 to 10
Have you ever been asked to “rate your pain” on a scale from one to 10? As a chronic pain patient, this is a question I hear all the time. The problem is, pain is so personal. And while most chronic pain warriors can relate to varying levels of high pain, we all have very individual reactions to it, making it pretty hard to rate on a scale.

This year has started with an unexpected twist. Typically for this time of year, the weather is getting warmer and the nights are lasting longer, but our doors and plans are remaining firmly shut and sealed. With the outbreak of Covid-19, the government has enforced social isolation to minimise the risk of spreading the virus. Some of us are working from home, schools have been shut, and we only leave the house for exercise or to shop for necessities. This is leading to a lot of free time for some of us!

You vs. Your Mentor
You were mentored from birth. When you were an infant, your parents introduced you to their world through things like food and language. Around age five or six, you started developing your first true friendships. Over the next 15 years, these friendships would allow you to sample the adult roles you would eventually take on. By the time you were eight, you were in school, learning values shared by your state or nation. Sports coaches, music teachers, troop leaders, tutors, Aunt Bunny. You may not consider everyone who could be included in this list a mentor, but all of them, in some way large or small, helped shape the person you are today.

Childhood Trauma, Addiction, and Eating Disorders
Have you ever thought about traumatic experiences as having their roots in the lives of your parents or grandparents?   Trauma can be defined as the loss of an essential part of ourselves - a sense of safety, of trust or security.  Trauma ultimately has the ability to define our behaviors, actions and our sense of self.  More and more research is also showing the destructive effects of trauma being passed down from generation to generation in our DNA and cultural nurturing.

How to ACE Your Days during Social Distancing
Many of us have been practice social distancing for well over a month at this point. We are spending long days in our homes and might be stuck in a rut by this point. The same routines could be getting boring, or we might be feeling increasingly burned out or even a little depressed. Whatever unique stressors we each face, there is a simple tool that can help us get more out of our days. The acronym is A.C.E., and each letter stands for Achievement, Closeness, and Enjoyment. These are three primary needs we each have, and they are useful to keep in mind when planning activities and for reflection at the end of each day or week. A simple goal would be to have at least one activity for each letter completed each day.
