ADHD and the Martial Arts – Help Your Child Succeed

If you have a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, then you have a wonderfully gifted child. The ADHD child is spontaneous, creative and can hyper focus on a task they find interesting.

Conversely, this same child is a challenge to parents because they can often be aggressive, hyper, distractible and impulsive. The world views these children as “hard to handle” which can permanently harm self-esteem.

All children are impulsive, inattentive and easily distracted from time to time, but the ADHD child lives with these attributes frequently. You can aid your ADHD child by showing her how these character traits are an advantage, not a disadvantage.
