I had ADD/ADHD/WTF_EVER, then mom made me run around the house 10-20 times and I would be magically cured.

Getting my butt warmed was remarkably therapeutic for my symptoms.

DH has also attributed that to his cure as a boy.

When we first adopted our son Vanya (who came to us after spending his first 5 years in an orphanage in Kamchatka) he had a lot of problems with managing frustration and anger, as well as staying on task and praying attention. This made homeschooling quite challenging at first.

At one point, very frustrated myself, I said, "Well, I don't know about you, but I have to get outta here and run around the block." So we both went out and ran.

Thereafter, whenever we got frustrated, Vanya would say, "Mom, let's run" and that solved our problems.

We came to call it "The Running Cure." Sure worked for us.
