Parents, you must resist the temptation! For a great part of the world school is now out. It is a relief at first for the parents having to deal with homework, lunches and getting your child off to school each morning. But if you believe your child suffers from ADD/ADHD you cannot just let them have the summer off!
As a martial arts teacher I do encounter those parents who actually believe that their child works very hard during the year and deserves to do nothing during the summer months. BIG MISTAKE. First instilling a good work ethic in your child by having them continue to learn and work a few hours per week during the summer is a benefit that will last them a lifetime. Second, if you are dealing with a learning issue, the teacher will not have the need to re-teach a lot of material, thus saving time and keeping your child growing!
Each child who takes the summer off from martial arts needs about 1 month to get back on track. If there is a learning disability present it takes longer!
Parents, enroll your child in a martial arts program this summer, or get them involved in some type of private learning activity to help them in their weak areas. Shut the video games off, and keep them learning! You will be amazed at the results you will see!

Your video posted SUCKS!!!
ADHD is a hard thing to belive if your not living with it or with someone who has it. ADHD is NOT a joke it is real!!! I was looking at your program for help and support not to watch that crap.
Well, opinions do vary. ADHD is not a disease. If you think it is, then you are not dealing with it. Have you watched TV lately? Do you think all the meds being sold are for the benefit of the people they are selling to? Let's face it there is BIG money in ADHD.
I have been dealing with these children and adult for 20+ years. I have never met anyone (with a few exceptions not related to ADD) that could not focus.
ADHD is also not an excuse for bad behavior!
