[quote=Anonymous]My 5 year old was diagnosed with ADHD. He is still in preschool, but he loves sports so we have signed him up in the past for soccer and basketball. But when he gets into the classes or teams, he refuses to play (even though he plays these sports with his brother and dad all the time). It seems like the chaos of all of the kids and or anxiety around new kids makes him shut down and refuse to play. We know he is young, but he has difficulty with self modulation and we want him to get into a sport or do something athletic b/c he seems to crave it. We also tried karate a year ago b/c people said that was good for ADHD, but he was overwhelmed with the place, the kids, etc. and refused to do it. Does anyone have any ideas? We want him to be confident and don't want to force him into situations per se, but he does seem to have an allergic reaction to a lot of noise and kids (anxiety?).[/quote]
