[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What extracurricular activities work better for kids with ADHD? DD takes lessons for a musical instrument and started a sport. Getting her to practice the instrument creates endless arguments. However, [b]she refuses to quit the music lessons[/b]. The sport requires no practice so it's easy to get her to class on time. Speaking of sports, would team sports or individual sports be a better fit for someone with inattentive ADHD?[/quote]

Why does she get to refuse to quit something when you pay for it and probably provide transportation?

With my kids, they understood that part of committing to an activity when I signed them up was committing to the practices that accompanied the activity.  I also told my kids that the more they were willing to commit to an activity, the more I was willing to support them.  It sounds like you’re investing more to this activity than she is, so YOU should quit.  Tell her that lessons will stop until she decides she has the time and motivation to practice, and that after she has resumed practicing you’ll consider resuming the lessons.[/quote]
