Moral of the story?


Forced reading sucks, free reading’s cool.

[cdsush]

"Am I supposed to read up to chapter 7 or through it?"

That hit different.

I think one of the issues for "trying to read" or "trying to listen to music" is that many people do it because they know that others enjoy it and so they think they should be enjoying it themselves. You should do these types of things because you want to, not because you want to want to. I hope that make sense/ is connectable/ won't get people to hate me like I irrationally think they do.

Let this be a lesson: When you turn a chore into a game, a child can be persuaded to do it. When you turn a game into a chore, you can turn the child against it literally for the rest of their life.

Jaiden: I like pictures

Literally Everyone: *huh who would’ve guessed*

[clairelord]

It’s the same thing with chores you say “I’m gonna clean my room!”
But then your parents walk in and say “clean your room” and then you don’t wanna do it anymore

Some people play games, some people draw, some people play music. Everyone has some way to de-stress and such and what’s important is that you enjoy it.

Jaiden: "School kinda ruined books for me"

School ruins everything it touches by making it into a requirement smh

I think I'm in the same boat with you there: a former ADHD kid who despises reading because of highschool trauma.
It's always been a source of shame for me, and I am still trying to work on myself, but I think I've found peace with it by just accepting that it's okay to be a non-reader.
This isn't to say that I ENDORSE non-reading. Reading is a really constructive hobby to have if you make it work for you. Nobody should take PRIDE in being a non-reader, but they deserve to have self-acceptance for it.
They also deserve to be able to talk about it without receiving judgement or unsolicited book recommendations.

Me reading: **already in Chapter 100**


My brain: **trying to understand Chapter 4**

[bmprimer]

the phrase "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" really applies here because a lot of schools don't seem to realize that if you keep pushing the horse's head in the water it'll just drown.

James: makes a book
Jaiden: post video “Why I don’t like reading”

Sad James noises

Edit: Thank you Jaiden for making these animation videos. You have inspired me to start making my own stop motion videos too on this channel.

*me currently working in a library* ..the first scene actually sounds wonderful. I think I‘ll make myself some camomile tea and finally water the plants in the house. Thanks for inspiring and reminding me! Btw I‘ve always loved cats :D

Actually, it's pretty normal reaction. People in general don't like to do things they "have" to do.
It's the same reason why so many people who try to make their hobby a job end up extremely disappointed when they realize they've lost all the enjoyment they had in their hobby once it became responsibility.

In other words, it was not a good parenting.

Books: are released

New York Times: Ur a bestseller, ur a bestseller, Everyone’s a Bestseller

[raggedyanimator]

People who love reading: "My parents used to read with me as a kid. <3"

People who hate reading: "My parents/school forced me to read as a kid. >:["

I'm starting to see a pattern...

[nicolecastor]

I found your ADHD! This whole video really, but also 4:19 so relatable as another ADHDer.

Jaiden, my first introduction to your channel was your "I have ADHD" (*whisper also ASD*) video from like a week ago, and Ive been bingeing your content since. You are great, and it's honestly quite funny to play spot the ADHD (and ASD *quietly*).

As someone also diagnosed as an adult, reflecting back on the signs is both humorous and healing!
