ADHD kids trade ritalin for recess and running!!

In a blog called "Schools Matter" there is a recent post called New Cure for ADHD: Recess.

The post discusses the results of a report on school-based physical activity and its association with academic performance, based on a review of 50 studies published in 43 articles 

Conclusion:-for those of you who don't have time to read the post (not long)

"Rambunctiousness in children is normal. And it should be treated with recess, not Ritalin!"

The program, available to all for free at http://www.davidkatzmd.com/abcforfitness.aspx, not only allows for intermittent bursts of activity throughout the day whenever kids 'need' one, but matches aerobic routines to grade level and subject matter.  

Teaching time actually goes up!
