Cold weather is fast approaching. As winter arrives it may be more and more difficult to get your child outside to play and run off some of that excess energy. I would like to compile a list of favorite winter activities to help your ADHD child release energy, as well as keep healthy with physical activity. As always the best tips for parents of children with ADHD comes from other parents.

Please send me your favorite “energy outlets” for your child during the cold winter months. You can post below in the comments section or email me directly at add.guide@about.com. There is also a folder set up on our Forum where you can post. I'll compile a top 10 list of suggestions to share with everyone.

Look forward to reading your ideas!
