ADHD & 'POSSESSIVENESS'
Emotional Dysregulation:
Children with ADHD often struggle to manage their emotions, leading to intense reactions when they feel their belongings are threatened or taken.
Impulsivity:
Their impulsivity can make it difficult to think before acting, leading to grabbing items or reacting strongly when someone else takes something.
Hyperfocus:
In some cases, hyperfocus, a common ADHD trait, can lead to intense attachment to specific items.
Watch the video modelling below, where a preschool ADHDer is learning about items that belong to her, and items that belong to everyone.
She watched the video at the end of session and had a 💡moment!
