What are good sports or hobbies for children with ADHD?
December 7th, 2007 | by admin |nikkifrdm asked:
Everyone suggests that my son get involved in an extracurricular activity. He has ADHD, and we tend to want to put him in a sport to use some of his excess energy in a positive way. He doesn’t show much interest in any though, he is not yet 7 years old. Should we just pick one and make him try it? He has tried team sports in the past without much luck.

Karate. It helps with discipline and concentration.
Some instructors will let him try it before you commit to paying.
