ML> and children with motor skill problems. Get him a Nintendo or Sega
 ML> Genisis and some games that require eye/hand coordination. He may get a
 ML> little fustrated at first but with your encouragement he will improve 
is
 ML> motor skills. BTW this also has helped people who have had strokes, I  
 ML> speak from experience. This method has also been used in some schools 
 ML> that specialize in ADD and ADHD for training children to increase their 
 ML> focus times.  I hope this is of some help to you.
 JH> I don't doubt that this helps Michael.  I have used computers as a
 JH> hobby since age 15 (1980).  That was something that I always did well
 JH> on in general.  My only suggestion is that while getting a child
 JH> interested in something like a computer a parent should also set some
 JH> goals... that could be something like getting the high-score in a
 JH> particular game (that gives them self-confidence and
 JH> shows that they can succeed) or perhaps learn a word processor on a
 JH> computer... not just learn it, but demonstrate advanced knowledge.  The
     Very good advice. My ADHD grandson Joey has been using a NES for a 
     few months now and has gotten good at some of the games. He even will
     share the playing with his younger sister. He can sit for longer periods
     of time while doing this. I have seen an improvement in him since he
     has started playing [and beating me] in some of the games....:)
