Adhd

[Inspired by Reggio]

ADHD is nothing to be afraid off - they are typically just more busy but still loving empathetic children

I know with my son things I would 'avoid'

Sugary high carb snacks after school - stick to a protein and fruit to keep his sugars level .... sugar makes most normal kids to some extent but ADHD kids is 1000 full!

Avoid red food coloring foods - ketchup comes to mind, cheap jams, yogurts and so forth - again something in that which makes them excitable!

After having been in school all day the best thing for 'after school' is to go OUTSIDE for an hour and run around

If it is rain day and you need to be inside - find out what he enjoys and have something available to keep him 'attentive' to it ... my son when he was young was a 'fixer' so if we need him to sit and be quiet for long period of time we give him an broken 'electronic' item and tools and let him tinker with it - he can sit for hours doing that same with making model cars, trains, planes and other things were hits as a kid, scuplting with clay - things that kept his hands busy kept hims 'mind' focused

Now he is a teenager and more into playing with electronics - aka the Xbox or his electric guitar
