Kristina :

We have a no social media until 16 rule in our house. My oldest is 15 and this year has been the hardest so far because she is left out of a lot of communication. But I want to show we mean business to our 12-year-old who has ADHD and OCD because she watches what we do with her older sister. They don’t agree with our stance, but I have a feeling they will when they’re older and look back on it.

Tina :

20 years from now, the same thing will happen due to AI… So much we don’t know about what it can and cannot do for us, both mentally and physically.

Dr K Davin :

This is such an important conversation for parents.

It’s addicting for adults also it’s definitely gotten to me & from my 1st online business & a horrible accident & into covid etc. way back though the TV & computers were a vice or outlet in a positive way to those with adhd can you please speak on that? I noticed that in the 90’s & early 2000’s with people that I knew who were but then when in front of a computer they were all attention’ focused & myself late diagnosed officially & I was the poster child born in 79 of the things I’ve heard you talk about for untreated adhd or add my juvenile years where so hard & got missed by everyone for so long & I had an entourage of psychiatrists & therapists Probation officers all the things & not until age 28 someone said to me & my mom did anyone ever tell me that I may have undiagnosed adhd & I took some more tests & yup high IQ undiagnosed ADHD the inattentive kind & I resonate with other kinds you have described as well that I was smart & organized enough to not be bouncing off the walls or in the LD class or anything but my behavior & desk was out in the hallway in 1st 2nd grade & in kindergarten my name on the board with 5 check marks. Then at age 30 something I was told 28 or 29 of the undiagnosed ADHD 30’s it was like new glasses like you said & I grieved everything that finally made sense at the time like wow it all actually made sense for the first time & after a good 8 years or so at the time getting the meds & things that worked for me I’ve still had or attracted abusers i figured that one out before it was confirmed or proven & also lots of trauma an accident & other things the last 8 years now at age 47 it’s been really hard for the last 7 years not like it was in my 30’s why is that? Do you know? Thank you 🙏🏻
