Why Your Child with ADHD May Struggle to Make Friends

Children with ADHD often struggle socially, even when they genuinely want to connect with peers and make friends. In this video, Jennifer Davis, occupational therapist at Joy & Laughter Developmental Therapy, explains how impulsivity, emotional regulation, attention, and turn-taking challenges can affect social interactions for children with ADHD. You will learn why some children interrupt conversations, struggle to wait their turn during games, or become upset during social activities, and why these behaviors are often connected to underlying ADHD-related challenges rather than intentional rudeness.
