[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 551228, member: 11791"] Find ways to get them into organized activities in their area of interest. Any kids art classes around? Most of these kinds of activities are multi-age, at least to some degree (like, they might not put the k-3 group in with teenagers..., but 9-12 or 8-14 are common groupings here). This multi-age apporoach helps ADHD (and other maturity-challenged) kids because they can relate to other kids of any age who have a similar talent and similar (im)maturity. For some kids, socialization happens on the end of a leash. Owning a dog, and taking formal classes in training the dog, can be a huge boost. The dog is very forgiving, very loving - but does best with really consistent signals. Somehow, it helps some kids learn how to interact with and relate to another living being... which is the building block for human relations too. Warning: This takes lots of TIME and EFFORT for both you and the kids. in my opinion... at least for us, it was well worth it. [/QUOTE]
