GAMES FOR CHILD WITH ADHD
Tags: Games for ADHD, Fun Activities, ADHD
Child Treatment
Children of all ages and races love to play. Games, games and
more games is what they all need!!! It’s only the choice of games
that makes the difference.
An ADHD child is hyperactive so that games like scrabble, cards,
monopoly won’t inspire him. He needs to run, to jump to shout.
Actually he needs to burn that excessive energy somehow.
Games for children with ADHD are more out door
based, with a higher energy level required. Certain fun activities for
ADHD child might fail which proved excellent for other children.
• The child though requires outdoor games that keep him active. He won’t
enjoy it if you play baseball or volley ball with him. Games with some
standing phase are not appreciated by these children. He prefers climbing
trees, running, jumping, hide and seek etc.
• Don’t let your child sit in front of TV or play
video games. Screen time exposure makes ADHD worse. Put a limit of 1 hour on these types of activities.
• An Illinois study found that ADHD children benefit by having
a view of nature outside their windows.
In one study, children who had a tree or park outside their windows
at home actually got better grades than children did whose windows
looked out on a parking lot. Greenery has a positive affect on all of us.
So play safe and play green!!!
• Fresh air and healthier environments are good for ADHD
children. Plan to have weekends and vacations in wilderness area
rather than in amusement parks or in city.
• Games with physical training are often enjoyable to ADHD
children. A good workout is an alternative choice. It increases
the flow of blood to the brain and decreases nervousness and anxiety.
It also releases endorphins into the brain, giving you a feeling
of calmness and well being.
• Many children have problems with memory. To determine the
if you child has memory problems play memory games with
them and compare them to their peers.
Play command games with them.Give him one command, after completing
the job give him two commands simultaneously. Keep on increasing
till he fails to do that. This will increase his ability to respond to command
prompting.
• Play games with model building, carving, woodworking, mosaics,
jigsaws or mechanical activities. Children with ADHD often love
to solve quizzes or puzzles.
Constructing models or creating things out of wood or metal will
help your child learn how to turn his ideas into concrete reality.
Successfully completing a project where he has something solid
and visible to show for it can be extremely rewarding to your child.
