[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ADHD kid who said this at 9 is a happy college athlete doing well so there is hope. But what we had to do for years and years was prioritize getting him physically exhausted. Swim or run before school. Daily soccer for hours after school. People can’t understand how these kids work and I’m sure people judged us as crazy sports parents when the truth was that we didn’t care about the actual sport at all, and just did whatever would exhaust him. School was never enjoyable but was better in a small-class, challenging environment so we moved him to private.

We found concerta was better combined with physical exhaustion. [/quote]

Op yes I think this is it. He is in a small private and next year they have more sports (I think I can prob achieve 3d a week after school plus 2-3 sports a weekend) but even with that I considered moving him to a truly sporty school. We are in nyc so doing that requires moves to burbs or he commutes to one out of the city. Like you I don’t care about sports but I have an inkling that they will be key to his happiness in middle school and beyond [/quote]
