[QUOTE="Malika, post: 515784, member: 11227"] In the bath tonight, J was trying to put together a lego boat... it was very fiddly and he was having some trouble with it, but he wouldn't give up with it until he had succeeded - despite my several requests, he wouldn't get out of the bath until he had done it. It was a very focused level of attention for about 20 minutes. I just wondered... have others of you noticed this kind of thing in your ADHD children? Maybe it is just the thing that I have read that they will concentrate and apply themselves when they are interested, when they want to. Oftentimes his attention does seem very "dispersed" - sitting to eat a meal, for example, he will never just eat the food but will be playing with toys, getting down from the table to do something or see something, taking bites every so often...
