このコンテンツについて

Video games are a big part of many kids’ lives—but when your child has ADHD, is gaming just a fun outlet, or something more concerning? In this episode, Dr. Tish Taylor explores the growing research around ADHD and video gaming, sharing both the potential benefits and the warning signs parents and professionals should know. You’ll learn:

What the science says about gaming and ADHD (2019–2023 literature review)
When video gaming may be helping (think: processing speed, emotional regulation)
When it crosses into problematic use or addiction
How to spot red flags like sleep disruption, withdrawal, or emotional overdependence
Why kids with ADHD may be more vulnerable to addictive behaviors
What questions to ask and how to foster a healthier balance

🎯 Especially timely for summer, when gaming time tends to increase, this episode equips parents, educators, and caregivers with real insight—not hype—to help kids develop more mindful screen habits. 🧩 Resources Mentioned:
