Most of these answers wouldn’t make sense to a 5 yo. Let me try.

ADHD makes it very hard to control urges. You have the same urges everyone else does, but you have less control over your reaction to them. You know what you should do, but your brain doesn’t let you. People with adhd are controlled by their surroundings and their feelings in the moment. You basically live day to day with very little planning for the future.
