Don’t confuse the powers of ADHD with the symptoms! They are the unique traits and skills of your child with ADHD. These powers make your child more creative, spontaneous, caring and energetic than any other child. Be proud of all the out-of-the-box thinking, humor, drive, and passion that come with having ADHD.
Being busy is a talent!
Rarely lack of energy
They rarely lack energy to do anything and are therefore rarely boring. They are therefore fanatical participants in activities or sports. You can safely have a child with ADHD in your team!
Greedy andhyperfocus
A child with ADHD is eager and hyperfocused! Although it is often thought that these children have difficulty regulating their attention, they can indeed be very concentrated on a task for a longer period of time. If only this task has his interest. Many scientists, writers, and artists with ADHD have had very successful careers, largely because they can focus on what they’re doing for hours at a time.
Very resilient
Kids with ADHD deal with a lot of disappointments in life. But they are very resilient, able to overcome adversity, adapt to new strategies and find solutions to complex problems.
Helpful
A child with ADHD wants to help others. They are generosity and desire to please those he cares about. So they are very protective of those they care about, for example their brother or sister.
Humor
These kids are smart, creative and funny. They often use self-deprecating humor to remind the world that perfection isn’t interesting at all. They face challenges and come up with new ways to cope with their symptoms. And along the way, they develop a sense of humility and self-respect.
Creative solutions
Children with ADHD tend to think more creatively. They often see solutions that neurotypical people don’t see. And they can use this creativity in strange, but also wonderful ways.
Ambitious and go-getter
Children with ADHD are ambitious and are not limited by boundaries. Although this is not always a positive (for the parent) during the upbringing, his perseverance and ambitions will help him to get where he wants later in life. People with ADHD often become entrepreneurs because they dare to take risks.
Spontaneity
A child with ADHD can be unpredictable and spontaneous. That makes for fun and surprising moments in life. In fact, acting impulsively sometimes results in wonderful things!
