[QUOTE="Malika, post: 684469, member: 11227"] Yes (again) I understand. Team sports are difficult - all the more reason to persist with them, perhaps, for all they have to teach but sometimes that is just too painful, right? J had a mystery phase of a few months where (when he first started taking Strattera) he became this star footballer, scoring goals and being a great team player. Other than that... he has little or no team spirit or willingness/ability to put up with waiting around for a ball to come his way. Gymanistics sounds great, especially as your grandson is enthusiastic. Is there not another class he could join other than this one that sounds difficult? Martial arts?? J started doing jiu jitsu in the UK and liked it a lot (he's tried out loads of other martial arts) - a friend who is very into it tells me that it is well known as effective in helping ADHD symptoms. I don't know what boogie boarding is but it must be like surfing, right? That's great that you are close to the ocean, even if it's only available in summer. So important all this stuff! As for riding - has your grandson tried that? Again, it is known as a therapy for ADHD although I didn't know that when J started it at the age of five. He goes faithfully every week and loves it. There is a teacher who seems to me the perfect combination of warmth and strictness and, guess what, J really listens to him... And he loves grooming the horses after, etc. Makes kids feel special, it's a great thing to do. Rather expensive, of course. [/QUOTE]
