October is ADHD Awareness Month, and one thing I’ve learned as a mom is that sometimes our kids need more than reminders to calm down or stop moving. Sometimes they need an outlet for all that energy and impulsivity.
That’s one of the reasons I was excited to try a smash room with Payton, but I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous at first. He’s sensitive to loud noises, so I wasn’t sure how he would handle being in a room where things were constantly crashing and breaking. I worried it might be too overwhelming for him, but he did SO well! 🥹
Watching him enjoy himself in a place where breaking things was actually encouraged was such a cool experience. As a mom of a kid with ADHD, I’m always looking for activities that help him channel some of that energy in a positive way. A smash room isn’t going to magically fix impulsivity or big emotions, but it can be a fun opportunity to practice letting loose in a safe, supervised environment.
Our kids spend so much of their day being reminded to slow down and think before they act. So getting to take him somewhere where he could just have fun without hearing “stop” every few minutes felt like such a win. ❤️
And honestly, seeing him enjoy something I was nervous he might not tolerate made the whole experience even better.
If you have an ADHD kid who loves a little chaos, this might be worth checking out! Thank you, @ismashstuart, for having us!
