Ignoring these signals not only results in physical discomfort but can also cause emotional responses such as frustration or embarrassment, leading to significant mood swings.

Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) face unique challenges in recognizing and responding to their body cues. This can result in ignored signals related to basic needs such as hunger and bathroom breaks.

When children become deeply engrossed in enjoyable activities, like video games or creative play, they often overlook these essential cues, which can lead to various issues, including potty accidents and mood dysregulation, often referred to as "hanger."

Ever feel like your motivation vanishes the moment something stops being exciting? 👀

If you live with ADHD, you’re not imagining it — your brain is wired to seek novelty, personal interest, and stimulation. And when those elements fade? Focus can disappear just as quickly.

In her latest blog, Dr. Ashley Houchin breaks down three powerful (and surprisingly doable) ways to work with your ADHD brain instead of against it:

✨ Novelty — Why newness boosts dopamine, and how to add small “fresh starts” to everyday tasks.

🎯 Personal Interest — How tapping into what genuinely matters to you can transform motivation.

⚡️ Stimulation — Creative sensory and movement-based strategies to stay engaged without burning out.

If your focus has been drifting, this is your sign to switch things up and try a new ADHD-friendly hack. Your brain isn’t broken, it just thrives on the right ingredients. 💛
