The inflatable punching bag

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you live in a house where emotional and physical regulation often looks like WWE tryouts, allow me to introduce you to your new best friend: the inflatable punching bag.

Why we love it:
This thing checks every ADHD-parenting box. It’s “hard work” without looking like chores, it’s a safe place to dump all those big feelings, and it spares siblings from becoming sparring partners. It’s simple (no complicated rules or parts to lose), it secretly builds strength, and—most importantly—it’s an instant peacekeeper when everyone needs some space.

The catch:
Inflatables are like the mayflies of the toy world: magical while they last, but gone too soon. Rough play means a lifespan of weeks, maybe months. Also, filling it with sand worked best, but will give you a workout before the kids even touch it.

Verdict:
Five stars. A hero in our house—even if it deflates faster than my patience on a Monday morning.
