ADHD Question of the Week: What After School Activities is Your Child Involved In?

well, as im still a child, i cant comment on this from a parenting point of view, but i find it very diffficult to stay with one sport or activity. although, i have found a couple of activities that i can stick with. cycling, judo, and free running. im not altogether sure why i like these, although i think its cause i feel free in the fast pacedness of these sports. i like the speed!

"Drama classes. Both my ADDlets have done weekly lessons. Teaches them social skills, concentration, confidence, lateral thinking, improvisation, public speaking & memoro retention (scripts)."

We have been struggling with our 15 year old who has ADHD and consistently says he has no homework although he does and/or he tells us he turned in all his assignments when he hasn't or if he does turn them in the assignments are partially completed. We recently decided to take him out of his after school sport due to his poor grades. We are hoping that he will have more time to complete his homework which we will check on a daily basis. I'm concerned that taking him out was not the right decision since it is the one thing that he seems to truly enjoy. What should we do?
