Fitness for ADHD Kids | ADHD Information

I agree with that 100%!!

 

I wish we lived in Florida!! ha ha

I would LOVE to be able to take some of his energy and apply it to my life. The thing with asking him, he's shy-he's backwards some times. He won't do anything...unless I really jump in with him.  We did do Tae KwonDo with him and it did not go well. The instructor wanted ds to be perfectly still and attentive and our poor ds just couldn't do it. The instructor was a ding bat, too. He had everyone say "Master Wall is coooool and Master Wall is sweeeeet"  It was more like an ego boost for him.

Anyway, I think we'll just try it but I'm sure hoping it works for him like I'm dreaming!! ha ha  It can't hurt, though, that's for sure!

A coach or instructor can really make or break a child's interest in a sport. I think my son lost interest in soccer because of the dingbat we had for a coach. Had we signed up for a 2nd session I was going to ask for a transfer to another team. Since we live in Florida, you can almost do year round soccer.

Really, I'm just bouncing an idea off of you all!

Our ds has spent the summer off of meds and has done surprisingly well.  I don't know where we stand on meds when school starts back but that's another post! ha ha

I'm thinking about buying a Tae-Bo Fitness CD for our 7 year old ds.  He is a very fit child, but has all the energy I'd love to have.  And I got to thinking, he really loves to work out with his dad and I, so why not switch that around. The tae-bo dvd has a site that you can see a few clips before you buy it. I think that this is something we could do together!! 

My question is, do you think ds will enjoy this? One, it could teach him to stay fit and healthy in a safe and appropriate way. Two, we are getting some healthy work out time together. Three, it will burn some of his extra trouble energy.  I'm thrilled with the idea, what do you think?

Have you asked the 7 year old what he thinks? He might watch the clips and love it or hate it. I think your reasoning is sound. Martial arts are great for our kids because it help them with self control, while burning off some of that energy.

Wouldn't you love to bottle some of that energy. We could all be rich and able to save a little for ourselves.
