Greetings!

The topic this month is EXERCISE! 

 

The latest research points to the enormous benefits of exercise in managing the symptoms of ADHD.  

 

During and after exercise, the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin are all elevated. This is great news because these neurotransmitters are all related to focus and attention!  

 

Studies have found that activities requiring close attention to body movement like taekwondo, ballet and gymnastics all promote efficient brain activity. When children experience the connection between feeling good and exercise it becomes a tool for lifelong success.  

 

Keep Moving! 

 
Sincerely,

 

Holly and Tracey

FREE Advice From The Experts! 

 

Q:  My son loves to play outside, but has a difficult time with organized sports.  I'd love to sign him up for an activity so he can get some exercise and learn about being on a team, but it always ends up in  a disaster.  He gets frustrated with himself and eventually refuses to go.  What can you suggest?

 

A:   Try a sport where your son can be part of a team, but still compete individually.  Swimming and tennis are both great options because there is a lot less unstructured group play, which can be overwhelming for a child with ADHD.  These sports also provide the opportunity to be part of a team, without the pressure to perform.
