I ran across an article Monday that I thought you all would find interesting. A teacher at an alternative school in Canada incorporated exercise into the daily curriculum. Here are a couple lines plucked from the article;
"Less than two months later, her students' attention has sharpened and they spend far more time on assignments without interruption."
"She has found 20 minutes of exercise have translated into two hours of sustained concentration from the students."
You can read the full article here; http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/news/story.html?id=cc9c11c4-b0eb-4746-bd72-20c24bcfed2b
If this motivates any of you to add a little exercise in your ADHD child's daily routine and find great results, please add a comment to this post. Or, share your current experience with exercise to help reduce the symptoms of ADHD.
Check back in a couple days and I'll let you in on one of my favorite "punishments" when the boys misbehaved. As you might guess, it's exercise related.
