[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was like this last year and we did not know DC had ADHD. This was the main thing that made us realize the problem. Sports plus remediation plus keeping up so they didn’t fail the next test times 5 - it was a lot. The best approach is to study the first time…and if it’s a serious problem, consider ADHD or learning difficulties if those weren’t previously identified. [/quote]

If it’s too much, then you prioritize and cut the sports. Problem solved.[/quote]

No, never. Sports help with mental balance, socialization, stability. We might miss a practice here or there but ditching them should never be an option - this goes for anyone and especially those with learning disorders.  Strengths first, always. [/quote]

+1. You could say the same thing about practicing an instrument, drama or any other extracurricular.  [b]Of course the child has to put academics first[/b], but you don't imprison them and strip their life of any joy because they're struggling with a class.

No one’s saying you ban sports forever, but if little larlo can’t be bothered to study, then sorry, you get to skip football till you get your grades back up.

Even college athletes aren’t eligible to play if they don’t keep their grades at an acceptable level.

What types of lessons are you teaching your kids?! “Oh sweetie, go ahead and go to baseball. Who cares if you’re failing?”[/quote]
