[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 609239, member: 14557"] Neither of mine is even officially ADHD but there is a reason why I bothered to drive difficult child to up to10 or 12 practises a week in three different sports (and husband did same to easy child) and added to that they walked to school and had to spend couple of hours a day outside. And of course in our schools classes last 45 minutes and between every class, there is 15 minute recess during which mine tended to play soccer etc. We have counted the hours they spent physically active when young few times now later because there has been lots of talk about how much physical activity a kid needs from early on to have a chance to become a high level athlete as an adult. When to grow healthy adult every kid should be physically active at least 14 hours a week, the future athlete needs more than 20 to 25 hours from early on. (This is not just sport practises, but walking or driving bike to school, running and playing in the yard etc. count.) With my kids most of the time it was well over 30 hours a week. And mostly because if not, they were totally insufferable at home. [/QUOTE]
