Impulse control isn’t just about telling an ADHD child to “stop” or “slow down.” Give their brain a chance to practice control through movement. This exercise combines balance, body awareness, motor planning, and controlled movement. The backward reach challenges his vestibular system and postural control. Then he has to find the cone, control his body, bring it forward, and place it accurately between his legs. He has to slow his body down to get it right. That’s the skill we want to build. Pause. Plan. Move with control. Try 3 minutes and switch sides. Save this for your next movement break and send it to a parent raising an ADHD kid.
