Choosing After School Activities

(Page 3)

Games or sports that require children to sit for long periods or wait for their turn may be hard for the child with ADHD.  They often do not have the patience or the ability to sit still for extended periods of time.  If a game is not quick moving, or is not interesting to your child, they will tend to fidget or lose track of what is going on around them while waiting for their turn to play.  In team sports, make sure your child is interested in the game and can sit and watch the game while it is the other team’s turn. 

Overall, a child with ADHD will respond positively to a game that is fun, provides interaction and positive reinforcement.
