Weekend's

[bmoore1226]

What are the best activities do have kids with adhd do on the weekend. My son always has so much extra energy on weekends. I typically let him go outside and play. It's not easy to do that every weekend because of the weather.

Thanks for the message. Not sure where you live and also not sure if you are asking about indoors or outdoors. We always had our son enrolled in some kind of sports classes or team events so our weekends were busy.

You could also read over previous posts about this similar issue. It was not until our son was older that he could tell us that his body has too much energy all the time.

So he has to find ways to get out the energy.

We encourage our son to ride his bike to his old elementary school and then ride back. It's about 1/2 miles and he has friends that can meet him there.

He also did Tae Kwan Do so he was always busy at least 3 days a week.

Indoor activities: he has small hand weights, a pull up bar ( inserted onto his bedroom door frame). He has a basketball hoop and lacrosse rebounder.

Indoors: he plays sports games on his laptop, chess alone and with people online, Rubic cubes, legos and puzzles and things that are mechanical to build. Now that he is older he could watch youtube 24/7.

Hope these help..

Trampoline Park! Defy Gravity has an unlimited membership for just $22. We go 3 times a week for 3 hours. My almost 10 year old now requests to go when he feels his energy level boiling over.

going on hikes outside is the best. Also, I’ve seen families make obstacle courses throughout their home with string etc. exercise videos on you tube on the big screen.

zoo or museums or Dave n Busters and I have my son into sports too because he’s very active and energetic so he can channel that elsewhere
