ADHD, I admit that chess is addictive! I was .. then, I grew up, and used skills that I developed there for other things. I understand what you are saying how computer games work for you. You just need to pre-plan your divergence so that it is doing something productive for yourself and others. for example, chess worked for me as a kid – it develops logical thinking, teaches you to evaluate your capabilities objectively (if you don’t, your opponents will, and it is hard). So, if catching monsters or flipping geometric figures is useful for you in some way, then play those. Or, find a game that will be help to you and kids. there are, for example, typing games with letters falling off the ceiling, use it to teach yourself and kids to type with 10 fingers blind. Then, same in Hebrew. Make up problem for kids – Find all cities that start with A in atlas, or count all “es” in the Humash until”yere es Elokim” … One of my kids took a test in response to school chachamim’ “concerns” – he first was asked to repeat numbers and he did below average, then he was asked to repeat numbers backwards – and he was at 98% range … so challenge yourself and kids the right way and enjoy it
