[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 479681, member: 1550"] I don't think teaching a child who tends to be violent how to do martial arts is smart either, especially if the child has impulse control disorders. I never considered it for Sonic when he was young because he could be fine one minute then pitch a fit the next minute. I didn't think he'd be thinking about how the teacher had told him that you never strike out in anger or you have to control yourself. We put him in soccer and swimming. It still did not exhaust him. Nothing did, but it was good for him to learn how to play with other kids and his meltdowns descreased. In fact, he became a good soccer player and now he plays many sports. I am thinking that both of the boys have more than ADHD going on however. It is in my opinion unlikely that sports or any activity will make a big difference in the long run. They really do need evaluations and treatment. Very, very unfortunately it is usually not as simple as finding an activity that they like. Both boys sound like quite a bit is going on and that they need to be under the care of a professional who understands children who may have more than one issue. I really again wish you all the best. Things can improve, but they usually do not get better with only the parents doing it. Most of the time we don't even know what is going on let alone what to do! [/QUOTE]
