My DD has been diagnosed with ADHD for about 3 years now. She just started doing Gymnastics about 1 ½ years now. She is 9yo and has progressed rather quickly. She competed as a L4 last year successfully and is now learning her L5 routines. Summer practices are in the morning so she was able to take her medication and do really well in her up training. Now school has started and by the time she gets out of school and to gym she is quite the handful. The wonderful coaches have talked to her and me about the problems with concentration and ability to control her body thru her skills. She is struggling needless to say. Taking more medication after school is just not an option at this point. Her doctor will not do it for homework or gymnastics. DD practices for 4 hours three times a week
I would like to know if any of you are dealing with ADHD and what some good ideas are for her and her coach to both keep their sanity. He is working with approx 15-18 other DD’s and mine is a distraction. I would love to have ideas for her, me and the coach that maybe I can pass along. He is open to suggestions.
