Managing High Energy
AD/HD children respond amazingly well to yoga. Find a video and practice together. Yoga has proven beneficial calming effects. The reason for this is because yoga uses both body postures (asanas) and breathing exercises (pranayama). The breathing exercises help the child to calm down enough to follow instructions.

Of course, good old-fashioned exercise such as running, playing basketball, a pick-up game of baseball or other vigorous activities improve cardio vascular fitness and help run off excess energy.
