[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 460915, member: 1991"] Tennis has been wonderful for difficult child 3, but his teacher has dropped out of sight for the last year, no classes have been run. I'm thinking of enrolling him in an adult club. We also have tried lawn bowls. Maybe J would do better with something like lawn bowls, it's not just an old people's sport. It is also an Olympic sport and I have seen some very young players at times. lawn bowls is quieter, easier to concentrate. ADHD kids can hold it together and stay focussed, but it comes at a cost. They really mentally fatigue a lot more, and quickly. Taking time out before they blow a gasket is the best way to train them to cope a little longer each time, and to also call for time out when they recognise the need in themselves. Marg [/QUOTE]
