Children with ADHD: Health, self-esteem, and a playful sense of enthusiasm

As parents, we want our children to be happy — and to grow into happy, successful adults with attention deficit disorder (ADD ADHD).

So we do our best to provide them with comfortable homes, fun toys, good clothes, memorable vacations, and other nice things. And we balance that by signing them up for lots of ADD-friendly sports like swimming and other extracurricular activities, hoping to instill an appreciation of discipline and hard work.
There's nothing wrong with nice things or with hard work in the classroom or on the playing field. Indeed, exercise is vital for kids.

But when we try to set the stage for lifelong happiness, we should remember what research has shown: that what matters most in encouraging good ADHD health is helping children develop happiness-promoting traits, such as optimism, self-esteem, and a playful sense of enthusiasm.

How do we do this? It's easier than you might imagine. First and foremost, children need something I call "connection," which they get in the form of unconditional love from adults.

Connection gives children the confidence to try new things and to seek out new experiences. Once a child feels connected to important adults in his life, it is a short step to developing a can-do attitude, which, as we all know, is a defense against depression and despair at any age. Good ADHD Health emerges.
Play and practice are two other ingredients of lifelong happiness. It's been said that "the work of childhood is play" — and that is true. I'm not just talking about structured games and events. Children need time to engage in unstructured play, with others and on their own. Play hones the imagination and teaches problem-solving skills. It teaches children to tolerate frustration. And, of course, it is fun. Your keenest childhood memories probably involve playing. I know mine do. (When it comes to electronic play, however, it's best to set limits. An hour or less a day of TV or computer games means there's more time for experiences that are richer in imagination - and exercise.)
Children who play learn that doing something repeatedly helps them get better at it; in other words, that practice leads to mastery. (Did you learn to ride a bike on the first try?) Practice lets children learn to accept help and to benefit from good teachers and coaches. Mastering a skill begets confidence, leadership, initiative, and an enduring admiration for hard work.
Mastery usually leads to recognition from a larger group (friends and family), which, in turn, reinforces the sense of connection. We all know what happens when a child masters something new after long practice. We hear his cries of "I did it!" and "Wow." Few feelings are better — for a child or his parent.

Let me close by saying something about self-esteem. Some well-meaning parents seem to think that the way to boost our children's self-esteem is to shower them with praise. Not so. Self-esteem is rooted in mastery. If you want your child to have high self-regard, do not go out of your way to offer praise. Instead, make sure your child has opportunities to develop mastery. If your child displays an aptitude for cooking, for example, invite him to plan a special family dinner and then help you in the kitchen.

Next time you find yourself wondering whether to sign your child up for yet another activity, take a deep breath. Some free time might be exactly what she needs to be happy - both now and after she grows up and leaves home.

Escape to Uncompromising Quiet at Perivolas Oia Santorini

The Greek retreat Perivolas on the island of Santorini is an ultimate escape: high above the Aegean, it’s designed to be a place to let the world “slip away” — even though it’s just a short walk from Oia, a charming village. All around you you’ll see beauty: terraced gardens slope to an infinity pool whose edge seems to slip off the cliff rim right into the azure horizon. Hear the quiet? That’s intentional too; no TVs or DVDs mar the secluded silence of this place, with only tolling church bells or the whistle of a fishing boat to break the spell. As the site attests, “It is easy to linger here all day, watching the changing light until the sun settles into the sea.”

Originally a private home, Perivolas maintains an ambience of intimate space and scale. Built by native craftsmen and out of local materials, it contains airy rooms, flooded with sunshine through skylights. Beds are tucked into alcoves in the white stone walls; your space is adorned with wildflower bouquets. Interiors are meant to be timeless and minimalist in the best possible way — with no distractions or disruptions of your meditative tranquility. As your hosts say, “This is a place to switch off. A place to read, recharge, relax; to sleep, rest, and dream.” Of course, your comfort is assured — your stay includes bathrobes, toiletries, mini-bar and coffee, not to mention gorgeous surroundings and excellent cuisine. So it’s an easy choice: for an escape of uncompromising luxury and peace, Perivolas Oia Santorini awaits.
