It is challenging but not imposiblle.My son(9) goes to ski-school and is very happy there. He goes every year,since he was 5 year old,has friends there,
lots of fun on snow and very good instructors.
Exellent for extra energy and stres to loose on slopes.
When comes home always brings friend with him to play at home,or he goes to his or hers home.
It is not friends from school,but sport friends who I find better for my son.
At school he is an exellent student(all A,we have different marks-5),but has difficulty at following rules in discipline(sitting,not talking) and controlling emotions.
Hollidays would be difficult if he is to stay at home doing nothing(playing at PC
and watching TV) but I make different timetable.
This week skiing,next swimming and always active.
I wish all ADHD-ers very happy and fullfiled hollidays!
Thank you Restless for you comment!
Ski school? That is such a great idea. My son loves the snow. I have been wanting to try tubing with him but we never make the plans to go. I bet he would love to ski as well.
I hope that you have had a lovely holiday as well. Looking forward to hearing more from you in 2011...just a mere half a day away!

As an adult with ADHD this time of year is a nightmare for me. I wish I could escape for the month of December. I have learned some great coping skills over the years but the tension/stress/absolute craziness of the season makes it difficult to enjoy it. Today I was on the verge of tears all day long. I have reached my limit and am suffering from sheer exhaustion. I just want it all over.

Hey Reta
I am sorry. I think few people realize how difficult this month can be for folks who have ADHD or autism. It must be a relief when it does come to an end and you can unwind some. My son is hanging in there but is very on edge.
I would personally love to hear about your coping mechanisms whenever you are feeling up to writing some more. Try to take some time for yourself to relax and do what you want to do in order to survive this weekend.
Thanks so much for commenting...I look forward to hearing more from you.
Yes, there are things that I do to help. Some of these will work for children and the other work for Adult ADHDers.
First, I limit my obligations to parties and such. I have limited the number of gifts I give and I like to make those gifts.
Second, I learned how to make lists to organize myself. I have to be careful that my lists do not get too detailed otherwise they add to the frustration.
Third, I stay away from the Mall, it is too much of a madhouse and just to stressful to deal with.
Fourth, I finally accepted the fact that I am not a superwoman, I can not do everything. Accepting this fact took so much pressure off me.

These are really good tips! Thanks for sharing them. Now that the holidays are mostly over...are you feeling relieved?
Thank you for asking, I have to say the stress was over Christmas Day and I felt the weight of the world lifted off my back. I was able to clean up my kitchen and do other things that I had not been able before. I have been able to relax and enjoy time with my family, too.
I have not been out to shop any After-Christmas Sales, either. Those can be just as stressful as the pre-holiday sales.
