Children with ADHD struggle with being able to wait their turn in lines or to speak. Checkout lanes can quickly become a parent’s nightmare with a child who is too impatient to wait their turn. As shoppers or as employees, many individuals will have seen the child in meltdown mode in the middle of a store. Often this behavior is due to the inability to wait their turn. In the classroom children will struggle with sharing toys or materials, recess, bathroom breaks, getting and eating their lunch, or even traveling to other classes. The child will have notes sent home or spend a lot of time in the principal's office due to being too impatient for turn-taking, including while playing games with others in their class.
