BreaksChildren with ADD/ADHD benefit from breaking their work into sections by providing a ´short break´ between activities. A good rule of thumb is 20 minutes of work time followed by a 5 minute "active" break. The 5 minute break time should be spent playing jump-rope, running in place, bouncing a ball, blowing bubbles, playing jacks, or some other active movement. It is ironic that most schools do will not allow this simple behavior management procedure since even the average adult´s attention span is only 20 minutes. A 5 minute break will increase learning and lessen misbehavior by ridding the body of stress and tension through the generation of blood! To learn more about working with ADHD, visit ADHD.
