Helping kids with ADHD thrive isn’t a one-and-done kind of thing. For many, medication is the most important part of treatment, enabling them to focus more effectively in school, sports, and other activities. But other supports make a big difference, too. Extra structure helps them manage their behavior, learning organizational skills helps them stay on top of things, and exercise helps them concentrate.

This week we round up resources for supporting kids with ADHD. Our Guide to ADHD Medications explains the alternatives you may need to consider before you find the right fit, as kids respond differently to different medications. We also explore the role food plays, and how coaches and parents can support them on the playing field.
