My son spends too much time in the shower. He uses up all the hot water and upsets everyone else in the family. It's like has no concept of time when he gets in there. Any ideas?

Coach Lynne's Answer:

It sounds like he enjoys a warm and relaxing shower, but this can be frustrating for family members for sure! If your kiddo has ADHD he may have difficulty perceiving time accurately, which can lead to him spending more time on things than planned. One strategy to address this is to use a waterproof timer to set a specific time limit for the shower.  He can try to beat the clock!! He could also create a playlist with 2-3 songs to help him signal when it's time to get out. Our coaches may use these and additional strategies to help him learn to manage his time more effectively.
