Behaviour disorders in children can be a cause for anxiety in parents. But with the right guidance and support you can manage and even improve your child’s behaviour. Do you have a child with ADHD or Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder? Children who have attention issues or are hyperactive or have ADHD need to use their energies in the correct way to avoid any destructive activity. What it means is that such children can benefit from putting their energy to good and creative use, otherwise they can feel frustrated very soon. These children would be the happiest if they are busy with some activity and their energies are chalenized in the right direction. But having said that, not all activities are apt for them.
Tasks and activities that help improve their attention span and reduce their ADHD symptoms are better for them. Moreover, these activities should be interesting enough to hold their attention. Be it a dance class of their choice, an outdoor sport or some art or craft activity, it’s important to engage your kiddo in a way that they learn while having fun.
So what are the things you must keep in mind? Let’s see:
Do you know that various studies prove that if your ADHD child sees and uses more of “green” colour in the activities, it’s more beneficial for her? That’s not all; it also reduces some ADHD symptoms. So, spending time in the garden, park, farm, or backyard is always a good idea. Here are some ideas of the outdoor activities that could help.
Biking: Whatever their age, children usually love riding their bikes, isn’t it? Biking actually helps an ADHD child in improving his attention and reducing impulsivity. It also helps the child to use his energy and change the mood. Riding a bike everyday also increases cognitive performance and processing information. Children are able to better understand their feelings and it also helps maintain weight and BMI. So many benefits; isn’t that an amazing activity then?
Martial arts: There are many martial art forms, like Taekwondo, Karate, Judo etc. Any of these trainings teaches your child self control as it’s quite structured, and it’s a great way to exercise.
Swimming: Who doesn’t like swimming and splashing in water? But apart from the fun, swimming is an excellent exercise to tone your complete body while also having fun in the water in summers. Do you know that Olympian – Michael Phelps was also diagnosed with ADHD when he was a child? But he became a world-class swimmer! Swimming uses a lot of energy and helps improving focus and confidence too.
Scouting: Scouting includes many physical activities that stimulate your body, your thought process and also are interesting. This activity being very structured, involves various learning styles and a chance to make new friends. What’s more? It’s supervised and structured and the kids get training on various life skills along with having a blast.
