Is your child's ADHD better in Summer? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. charblaize (414)4 months ago

I was curious because my son's behavior and attitude seems to be much better in summer, I feel it is with all the sports and activities I try to keep him and keep him busy. swimming, little league, going to the park, state park, library activities, etc...
Of course, during the winter, there is only so much one can do besides get frozen stiff in the snow. Although, I do find activities that is going on to try and help with the boredom and feeling locked in a box (house).
Do you try to do whatever you can to keep your child BUSY?

I'm not surprised your son is better in the summer, because physical activity helps a lot with ADHD--I'm not really convinced there is such a disease on the scale they would have us believe. Children are naturally active and boisterous and we seem to do our best to beat them down and keep them quiet. Now before you get offended, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the school system that starts too early in life and a day that's too long without the physical release that children need for healthy minds and bodies.

My sons and I used to make tents out of blankets and crawl around in them, play all kinds of fantasy games. We'd bat balloons around inside the house and play with a tennis ball in the garage when the truck wasn't there. We'd have crawling races (which is good for young children, stimulates their reading centers) and play with cars and blocks, see who could jump in place the longest, etc.
