I have ADHD and was diagnosed as an adult. Even when I’m caught up on meds and everything I’m having a severe mental block when it comes to playing with dolls and action figures and similar toys.
My kid is just barely 4 and loves playing with toys now more than they ever have before. I feel like such a shit dad because it’s so hard for me to give the scene my undivided attention and I clearly don’t play for long enough intervals to satisfy them.
Any tips? They’re an only child and i try to deflect and go outside or suggest books or arts and crafts but once again that makes me feel like I’m telling them what to play instead of playing with them.
I am looking for advice however i will say now that just powering through and playing with the dang toys works sometimes but not nearly as often as I’d like
damn i remember you posting about being a new parent and now she’s already 4, time really do keep on slippin, slippin, slippin, into the future
Its so true. Now that my kid is in school (which I work at) everyone says thr same thing. Its hard to believe how much of a little person she’s becoming. Time fucking flys.
