Martial Arts & Kids with ADD/ADHD Part 2
Last month I gave some surprising information on how to increase a child's focus who has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. In part 2 I will elaborate on this more as well as give some advise on how to keep building focus in your child.
Back in the 80's when ADD/ADHD first started to appear people often considered these children to be 'slow' since they did so poorly in school. Now we know it is just the opposite. These children are highly intelligent, often far above average.
