Make sure they're bored out of their mind all the time. No Fortnite, no YouTube, no tablet. (steers them clear of ADHD too) Either they go play outside with their friends or they hack what they can on some outdated/underpowered device you give them (Arduino, TI84, Arch linux boot screen, etc). Read them technical books before bed.
- djeiasbsbo 6y ago> "steers them clear of ADHD too" Could you elaborate on that a bit more? I have ADHD and am very interested in anything about it but have never heard anything like that.
- splintercell 6y agoNot OP, but I kinda know what he's talking about, here's a shortened version of how it works: - Stop drinking coffee - Get rid of Social media notifications and stuff - Actively aim to bore yourself when the day starts, don't look at the phone. - Then suddenly you'll notice that your brain is dying to do something interesting, so much that you'll start reading toothpaste's label while brushing your teeth. Start building up stories about how that label came to be (and all that is ok, as long as it isn't jumping around). - Then open your computer and the task you want to do, and find yourself be VERY INTERESTED in doing that.
- djeiasbsbo 6y agoI see.. but that's something else. These are strategies to not get distracted, actually a big part of ADHD is having these strategies, otherwise there would be no productivity whatsoever. However, the OP is talking about distractions which cause ADHD to be present, something I have not heard about.
