July 13, 2007, Newsletter Issue #191: ADD/ADHD and Recess

Tip of the Week

One of the most common mistakes school personnel make when dealing with children with ADD/ADHD is to take away the childīs free time play or recess. Children with ADD/ADHD need to vent anxiety, hyperactivity,
anger, or frustration in appropriate ways (e.g., kicking a ball, running, jumping, and yelling). Taking away these activities may actually increase the hyperactive behavior, therefore, taking away an active period the child physically needs should not be used as a behavior management option.
