Learn how to explain aggressive actions, like a kid stabbing another with a pencil, in a simple way for 5-year-olds and the role of ADHD in behavior.
Sometimes, kids can get really excited or upset, and they might not know how to express what they're feeling. Imagine if you have a lot of energy, like a balloon that's full of air! If that balloon gets poked too much, it might pop or get really crazy! Kids with ADHD can have a lot of feelings and energy, and sometimes they don’t know how to control them.
If a kid uses a pencil to hurt another kid, it’s important to understand that maybe they didn’t mean to be bad. They might have been feeling big feelings and didn’t know how to share those feelings correctly. It’s super important for kids to learn how to use their words to explain how they feel instead of using their hands or objects. We can help kids by teaching them to talk about their feelings and find better ways to play together!
