Going to daycamp
Dr. Lily Hechtman, a pediatric psychiatrist at the Montreal Children’s Hospital (MCH) and president of the Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance, suggests sending a child with ADHD to a daycamp over the summer. Daycamps are a great option because they will keep your child entertained by offering structure, supervision and the added bonus of physical activity. But be warned - not all daycamps are the same. When choosing a daycamp for your child, Dr. Hechtman recommends looking at the staff-to-child ratio, because the level of supervision might not be adequate for your child’s needs.
