ADHD Kids, Martial Arts, and Executive Functioning
As Dr. John Ratey, author of Spark, says: “If exercise could be put in a pill, it would be the ADHD drug of the century.” Exercise is remarkably good, especially activities like martial arts where there's a level of executive functioning required. In this edition of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) talks with Peter Johnson, professional martial arts instructor (www.sanbrunomartialarts.com).

Peter also shares his experience with the unique marriage that took place when the martial arts teacher and a psychologist teamed up together to write a book to help parents with kids.
