This article aims to present strategies for developing the interests and talents of ADHD children. ADHD is a common condition among children and often poses challenges in learning and socialization. However, with the right approach, ADHD children can optimally develop their interests and talents. The study revealed several key strategies, such as creating a conducive environment, engaging children in interesting activities, providing positive reinforcement, and collaborating with professionals. The findings provide valuable insights for parents and educators in facilitating the optimal development of ADHD children's interests and talents.
