Daily Exercise Ideas That Build Focus

Sports can give ADHD kids confidence and help them work toward goals. Any sport that involves running or sprinting can improve executive function. Skilled activities like rock climbing, yoga, karate, gymnastics, figure skating or tai chi help expend energy and build brain connections as well. Swimming and diving are excellent for kids with ADHD, as the repetitive motion is both soothing and physically taxing. Exercise creates a sense of well-being, and opens up a new level of concentration and perception.
