I'm hoping public school administrators (in Texas) get this soon. Their anecdote for declining test scores is to take away recess and the arts, and replace after school play with more tutoring (i.e. regurgitation). So counter-productive and sad for the kids who just need some time to be kids. So true. I’m hoping public school administrators (in Texas) get this soon.

Each child is different, and as a parent, you are an expert on your children. I do not have a child with ADHD, but I wanted to present the information from this study. I am glad your child is feeling more self-confident and successful in school! DTParenting, Thanks for sharing your personal experience.

If it was as easy as just going out to play then yes I would agree. I've tried diet, exercise and even therapy before turning to medication. My oldest child hated school he couldn't sit still, he couldn't concentrate and he was always getting into trouble because of it. His self esteem was shot, he didn't feel normal and his mind was racing. Medication helped him greatly and he loves school now.

I agree many kids benefit a lot more from recess than they do from Ritalin. I would only turn to drugs for kids as a last result. Thanks for this great post.

Good thing my daughter's school is too. Kids need to play. As for Ritalin and the like, I'd try a lot of alternatives first, including homeschooling. I’m a firm believer in keeping recess for kids.
