13 year old ADHD son - not interested in activities
What does your husband consider success in Boy Scouts? I ask because, as an adult living with AD/HD - Combined Type, I can honestly say that the discipline involved in carrying tasks or projects to completion will help your son in the future. Without a clearly defined goal or definition of success, your son has nothing to shoot for, leading to boredom or frustration. With the internet and Wii, there are usually 2 sets of goals, immediate and long-term, and those, combined with the creative/imaginative molding of our minds, will keep him in a state of hyperfocus. The same could be said of guitar lessons, the clearly defined goal of playing the guitar will keep him interested until he succeeds. If Boy Scouts can be defined in terms of goals, it could give him what I lacked, social skills. Had I developed them at a younger age, I might have achieved my own personal success earlier.
