This is something I struggle with daily, with everything. Focusing on one task is not easy for me. I have 4 girls ranging from 2-10. I own a business and I am a human being with ADD. But when my then five year old looked at me and said, "focus mamma, focus". I knew it was a problem. I was still working when they got home from school. The three older ones came in and were all talking at me at once. I was trying to finish up work, listen to each of them, remember what they were saying, thinking about dinner, wanting them to be quiet so they wouldn't wake up the youngest, and reply to them in a sensible manner. ​And I never took my eyes off my computer screen while this was going on. But when I heard those words, "focus mamma, focus" I knew I wasn't fooling anyone. Now I did bust out laughing because it was hilarious to hear. And I knew it was very true. Then I turned my seat around and looked at her. I don't rememember exactly what it was, but she was very excited about something she made that day in kindergarten. So I stopped what I was doing and I focused on her. Now every day I meet them when they get off the bus, walk into the kitchen with them, make them slow down and one by one tell me what they need to. I don't go into my studio because I know work will distract me. I really want to focus all my attention on them. My oldest is going to be in fifth grade next year. I feel like she was just a baby. I don't want to blink and realize I missed it all because I could not focus. Crazy what three simple words from a five year old can do for you.
