-=> While eating Chocolate, Desiree had this to say: <=-
 BM> Desiree Louvre (On 12 Mar 97) was overheard expounding to Regina
 BM> Finan
 DL> only for one hour. His father has the theory that Cory needs to vent
 DL> his hyper-ness through the sega! I only see it as stimulating him
 DL> overmuch.
 BM> Which way does he flop after playing with the Sega?  Is he more
 BM> active/mouthy, the same or less? (not based on just one or two
 BM> "observations")
He gets more mouthy and physically active. This is why I believe it is
not an outlet for his energy.
 DL> This is not what he needs. Which is why I like the Sim City
 DL> idea. (We picked up Sim Earth last weekend, have you seen it yet?
 DL> It's really neat!) With SC Cory would be forced to slow down,
 DL> concentrate, plan... etc. instead of him getting all revved up
 DL> and being disruptive.
 BM> I'd like to hear about how this goes with him.  I'm not sure that
 BM> anyone with true ADD/ADHD can be "forced" to concentrate or plan
 BM> ahead in anything unless it is of really high interest to _them_, in
 BM> which case their interest in it wouldn't require any external
 BM> coercion.  I'd be looking for solid signs that he is interested and
 BM> if not be ready for the possibility of "revving up".
As a matter of fact, his doctor thought this was an excellent idea. He
was never really all for the Sega anyway.
I will let you know how this goes though. Right now Cory and his sister
are playing Hexxagon... another strategy game. They both really like the
game.
