[QUOTE="KateM, post: 22577, member: 1973"] Janna, my difficult child hated sports when younger. Didn't get the concept of "teamwork", was't coordinated, so he didn't perform well, and could not tolerate losing. Some of my worst memories of difficult child involve him crying and yelling after losing a soccer game back in 2nd grade. But karate was one of the best things ever! He stuck with this for 5 years, earning his black belt. He learned focus, better coordination, respect. His self esteem improved. I would definitely recommend this -- but ask around about the class best suited to your son. The main reason this was so successful for my difficult child was that the instrutors were so willing to work with kids of all backgrounds and ability. This was not a "special" class, but their were many boys with ADHD there and the instructors channeled their energy positively. [/QUOTE]
