Parents are more likely to yell.
And that's not because parents are meaner.
They sort of figure out that unless I increase the volume, I cannot get my child's attention.
So then what happens is I'm struggling, right?
In the world, I can't pay attention.
And the beautiful thing about a video game is it allows me to focus.
Because it makes it very easy to focus.
There's bright lights, there's sounds, and I encourage parents who are listening to this to pay attention to the sensory stimuli of a video game.
Look at how precise the colors are, how much contrast there is, the very satisfying bass of the sound.
So if my mind is all over the place and I play a video game, it helps me focus my attention.
And this is true of all human beings.
We love being focused and engaged in something.
We love it, right?
To get lost in a good book, to binge watch a show, to take a walk along the beach, to take a walk with your dog, to put your kids to sleep and kiss them on the forehead.
You know, these are the experiences that we all long for in life.
But for a child with ADHD, they don't get access to that, right?
They can't pay attention.
They can't get lost in a book.
And so they're denied this very fundamental experience until they encounter a video game.
And now they have a 100% chance to engage in that flow state that we all crave.
