Attention Talk Radio

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). They talk in depth about martial arts and how it’s doing much more than just helping kids learn martial arts; it's also helping them improve their executive functioning, which explains why so much of Peter’s practice has grown by helping kids referred by counselors. 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. If you’re the parent of a kid who’s struggling with ADHD, this episode can give you a new insight. Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for
