ADHD is an epidemic among young Americans, millions of whom are on
a regimen of prescription drugs. Meanwhile, exercise has become a
less routine part of childhood than at any time in the past. Are
those two trends related? Could lack of daily exercise be a factor
in ADHD?
Exercise has a neurochemical effect on the brain similar to that
of the popular medications, without the unwanted side effects.
Stephen C. Putnam reviews in detail the scientific literature and
practical experiments showing that exercise is remarkably effective
in treating ADHD. He shows how to determine the right amount of
exercise, and how to motivate your children to keep up their
activities.
This is not an "anti-Ritalin" book. The author acknowledges that
medication is sometimes helpful and cautions that care should be
taken whenever changing from one treatment to another. However, he
notes that a great many children have been able to reduce
medication or eliminate it entirely with a regular schedule of
exercise -- greatly improving classroom performance, social life,
and overall well-being.
This is hopeful, helpful information for millions of children
and their parents, teachers, coaches, and counselors. Reading it
will change the way you think about ADHD.
