મારા પ્રિય ખેલાડી પર નિબંધ ગુજરાતી My Favourite Player Nibandh in Gujarati

My Favourite Player Nibandh in Gujarati મારા પ્રિય ખેલાડી પર નિબંધ ગુજરાતી: મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોની ક્રિકેટની દુનિયામાં ખૂબ જ પ્રખ્યાત અને સારા ક્રિકેટર છે. આજે આખી દુનિયા મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોનીને સારી રીતે જાણે છે. તે પોતાની ક્રિકેટને કારણે ઘણો ફેમસ બન્યો છે. મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોનીએ માત્ર પોતાના માટે જ નહીં પરંતુ દેશ માટે પણ ભારતને ગૌરવ અપાવ્યું છે. મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોનીના ચાહકો હજુ પણ ઈચ્છે છે કે મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોની હંમેશા રમતા રહે.

ધોનીનો જન્મ વર્ષ 1981માં થયો હતો. તેમનો જન્મ ઝારખંડ રાજ્યમાં થયો હતો. તેણે પોતાનું શિક્ષણ પણ આ રાજ્યમાંથી પૂરું કર્યું. મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોનીએ 12મું પાસ કર્યા બાદ સેન્ટ ઝેવિયર્સ કોલેજમાં પ્રવેશ મેળવ્યો હતો. પરંતુ ધોનીને ક્રિકેટમાં વધુ રસ હતો, જેના કારણે તેણે અધવચ્ચે જ કોલેજ છોડી દીધી હતી.

મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોની ક્રિકેટની દુનિયામાં ખૂબ જ પ્રખ્યાત અને સારા ક્રિકેટર છે. ધોનીની માતાનું નામ દેવકી દેવી અને પિતાનું નામ પાન સિંહ છે. ધોની સિવાય તેના પરિવારમાં એક બહેન, એક ભાઈ, પત્ની અને એક પુત્રી છે.

મહેન્દ્ર સિંહને સ્કૂલના સમયથી જ ક્રિકેટમાં રસ હતો. તેણે સ્કૂલના દિવસોથી જ ક્રિકેટ રમવાનું શરૂ કર્યું હતું. આ માટે તેણે ખૂબ મહેનત કરી.

ભારતીય ટીમમાં રમવાની તક

આ પછી ધોનીની મહેનત બાદ તેને ભારતીય ટીમમાં રમવાની તક મળી અને તેને પોતાને સાબિત કરવાની તક આપવામાં આવી. આ સાથે તેણે ક્રિકેટના મેદાનમાં પણ પોતાની જાતને સાબિત કરી. મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોનીને ઘણા પુરસ્કારોથી પણ સન્માનિત કરવામાં આવ્યા છે. મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોની 11 સપ્ટેમ્બરથી 4 જાન્યુઆરી 2007 સુધી ભારતીય ક્રિકેટ ટીમના કેપ્ટન હતા.

મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોની ક્રિકેટ જગતનો એવો સ્ટાર છે જેનું નામ બધા જાણે છે. તેઓએ પોતાની અલગ ઓળખ બનાવી છે. મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોનીને તેના ચાહકો પ્રેમ અને આદર દર્શાવવા માટે પ્રેમથી ‘માહી’ કહે છે. મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોની ભારતીય ક્રિકેટ ટીમના કેપ્ટન રહી ચૂક્યા છે.

માહીનો જન્મ 7 જુલાઈ 1981ના રોજ થયો હતો. તેમનું જન્મસ્થળ રાંચી, ઝારખંડ છે. ધોની ઉપરાંત તેની એક બહેન પણ છે જેનું નામ જયંતિ ગુપ્તા છે. આ સિવાય તેનો નરેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોની નામનો ભાઈ પણ છે. મહેન્દ્ર સિંહ ધોનીના પિતાનું નામ પાન સિંહ અને માતાનું નામ દેવકી દેવી છે.

One player from either team try to get their hands on the ball and the ball is passed on to the teammates. For scoring a point, a team needs to shoot the ball through the basket. If a shot is scored from a distance that is closer to the basket than the 3 point line than it fetches 2 points. Also, if the ball is shot from the distance behind 3 point line, it fetches 3 points.

ગુજરાતી નિબંધ | નિબંધ લેખન એટલે શું | all gujarati nibandh list, નિબંધ લેખન એટલે શું.

• નિબંધના ‘શીર્ષક' વિશે સૌપ્રથમ વિચાર થવો જોઈએ. શીર્ષકના આધારે નિબંધલેખનમાં કહ્યા મુદાઓ સમાવવા તેનો ખ્યાલ આવે છે. 
• નિબંધના બધા મુદ્દાઓનું અનુસંધાન તેનું શીર્ષક બની રહેવું જોઈએ. વિષયની બહાર જઈ મુદાઓની ચર્ચા કરવી-એમાં વિષયનું તાદૃશ્ય જળવાઈ શકતું નથી.
• શીર્ષકના આધારે તેના મુદાઓની નોંધ કર્યા પછી કયા મુદ્દાને કેટલો અને કેવી રીતે વિસ્તારવો છે તેનું મનન કરવું જોઈએ.
• મુદ્દાને અનુરૂપ અને વિષયને સંગત હોય તેવા અવતરણો, કહેવતો, રૂઢિપ્રયોગો, ગુજરાતી કે અન્ય જાણીતી ભાષાની પંક્તિઓ, સુભાષિતો, વગેરેનો ઉપયોગ નિબંધમાં કરવા જોઈએ, નિબંધના મુદાઓમાં અલગ-અલગ સ્થાને તે મુકાય; એકસાથે બધી જ પંક્તિઓ એક જ મુદામાં ન લખાય તેની સાવધાની રાખવી જોઈએ.
• વાક્યો અતિશય લાંબો ન થાય તેનો લખતી વખતે ખાસ ખ્યાલ રાખવો.
• પરિચ્છેદની સપ્રમાણતા જળવાઈ રહે તેવી કાળજી કરવી, અને
• વિરામચિહ્નોનો યોગ્ય ઉપયોગ થાય, અનુસ્વાર, જોડણી વગેરે પણ યોગ્ય રીતે લખાય તેની ખાસ કાળજી રાખવી.
• નિબંધનો પ્રથમ મુદ્દો પ્રસ્તાવના અને છેલ્લે મુદ્દો ઉપસંહાર યોગ્ય રીતે લખાય તે ખાસ જોવું. નિબંધના થોડા નમુનાઓ જોઈ જવાથી આ કુશળતા આવી જશે.
• કાગળમાં યોગ્ય હાંસિયો રખાય, મુદાઓ લખવામાં થોડા મોટા અક્ષર લખાય, ફકરા-પરિચ્છેદની શરૂઆતમાં યોગ્ય જગ્યા છોડાય અને પ્રત્યેક પેટા મુદાને અંતે ગુરુવિરામ મુકાય તે પણ ખાસ જોવું.
• પરીક્ષામાં પુછાતા નિબંધો વિદ્યાર્થીની વય-કક્ષા અને અનુભવ જગતને ધ્યાને રાખીને જ પુછાય છે, એટલે ‘શીર્ષક’ ઉપર થોડું મનન કરવાથી તે વિષય-નિરૂપણ માટેના મુદ્દાઓ અને રજૂઆતના શબ્દો અવશ્ય મળી આવે છે, પણ હા, એ માટે અગાઉ થોડા નિબંધો જોઈ જવા જરૂરી ગણાય.
• નિબંધ પૂરેપૂરો લખાઈ જાય પછી તેને ઓછામાં ઓછા એક વખત અવશ્ય વાંચી જવો જોઈએ, જેથી તેમાં રહેલી નાની પણ જરૂરી ક્ષતિઓ સુધારી શકાય છે
• સારું લખાણ લખવા માટે રોજબરોજની વૈશ્વિક, રાષ્ટ્રીય, પ્રાદેશિક અને આજુબાજુની મહત્ત્વની ઘટનાઓ વિશે જાણકારી પ્રાપ્ત થતી રહેવી જોઈએ. એ માટે વર્તમાનપત્રો, સામયિકો, સમાચારો સાથે નાતો જોડવો-જોડી રાખવો જોઈએ.
• પુરુષાર્થ એટલે શું ? 
• પુરુષાર્થ વિશે બીજાના - અનુભવીઓના કેવા ખ્યાલો છે ? 
• નસીબથી બધું સારું ગોઠવી શકાય કે પુરુષાર્થનો ખપ પડે ? 
• પ્રારબ્ધીઓ અને પુરુષાર્થીઓ બંનેમાંથી કોણ ચડિયાતું ગણાય ? 
• આપણે કેવા બનવું જોઈએ ? 
• પુરુષાર્થ દ્વારા કંઈક પામ્યાં હોય એવાં કોણ કોણ ? 
• પ્રસ્તાવના 
• પુરુષાર્થ અને પ્રારબ્ધની તુલના 
• પુરુષાર્થનું મહત્ત્વ અને જરૂરિયાત
• પુરુષાર્થીઓની સિદ્ધિઓ 
• ઉપસંહાર
• 'સિદ્ધિ તેને જઈ વરે, જે પરસેવે નહાય,'
• "उद्यमेन हि सिध्यन्ति कार्याणि न मनोरथैः "
• 'પુરુષાર્થ ભાગ્યનો ઘડવૈયો છે.'
• 'Self Help is the best Help.'
• તમે પહેલાં નક્કી કરો કે તમે કયા પ્રકારનો નિબંધ વધુ સારી રીતે લખી શકો. તમને ખ્યાલ તો હશે જ કે નિબંધ વિવિધ પ્રકારના હોય છે. પ્રકૃતિવિષયક, માહિતીપ્રધાન, ઘટનાપ્રધાન, ચિંતનપ્રધાન, આત્મકથા - જેવા નિબંધો લખવાના થતા હોય છે.
• તમે જે નિબંધ લખવા માંગો છો તેમાં કઈ વીગતો આવી શકે, તે વિચારો અને નોંધો. તેના મુદ્દા તારવો. આ મુદ્દાની કાચી યાદી બનાવો. ત્યાર બાદ મુદ્દાની ક્રમિકતા નક્કી કરો. કયો મુદો પહેલા લેવાથી તમારો નિબંધ વધુ ચુસ્ત બનશે અને લખાણ વધુ પ્રવાહી લાગશે.
• તમે સમાનાર્થી શબ્દો, વિરુદ્ધાર્થ શબ્દો, રૂઢિપ્રયોગ, કહેવત, દુહાઓ વગેરેનો અભ્યાસ કર્યો છે. તેનો ઉપયોગ કરો અને તમારા લખાણને વધુ સચોટ અને અસરકારક બનાવો.
• પસંદ કરેલા નિબંધ અનુસાર તમારી ભાષા હોવી જોઈએ.
• જો તમે પ્રકૃતિવર્ણનનો વિષય પસંદ કર્યો હોય તો તેમાં પ્રકૃતિનું દૃશ્ય નજર સામે ઊભું થઈ જાય તેવું, સૂક્ષ્મ વીગતો સાથે વર્ણન કરવું જોઈએ. પ્રકૃતિના રમ્ય - રૌદ્ર રૂપની વાત કરતી વખતે તેને માનવસ્વભાવની સંકુલતા સાથે પણ સાંકળી શકાય. પ્રકૃતિ મન - હૃદયને સ્પર્શતી હોય છે. તેથી તેમાં પ્રયોજાયેલાં ભાવવાચક, ઉદ્ગારવાચક વાક્યો પણ નિબંધને વધુ હૃદયસ્પર્શી બનાવી શકે.
• જો તમે માહિતીપ્રધાન નિબંધ લખવા માગતા હોવ તો તમારી પાસે મુદાઓને અનુરૂપ માહિતી હોવી જોઈએ. જરૂરી પરિભાષા, તેના લાભ-ગેરલાભ અંગે અથવા પક્ષ-વિપક્ષ અંગેની માહિતી, તેનાં કારણો, ઉપાયો વગેરે જેવી વીગતો સમાવી લેવી જોઈએ.
• ઘટનાપ્રધાન નિબંધ લખવા માગતા હોવ તો એ ઘટનાનું તમારે મન શું મહત્ત્વ છે, વ્યક્તિગત અથવા સામાજિક સંદર્ભોમાં એ ઘટના વિશેષ છે ? તમારા મનમાં રોપાયેલી ઘટના વાચનારના મનમાં રોપાય તેવું વર્ણન ઘટનાપ્રધાન નિબંધને આસ્વાદ્ય બનાવી શકે.
• જો તમારે આત્મનાત્મક નિબંધ લખવો હોય તો તમે વિચારી જુઓ કે તમને કેવી વાત સાંભળવામાં રસ પડી શકે? કોઈ પોતાની આત્મકથા કહે તો કોણ સાંભળ. ક્યારે સાંભળે? તેથી આ પ્રકારના નિબંધમાં બોલચાલની લઢણ નિબંધને આકર્ષક બનાવી શકે. વળી, જે પોતાના જીવનના અંતિમ તબક્કામાં હોય, તે પોતાના જીવનના સારરૂપ કોઈ સંદેશ આપે, તેથી કોઈ પણ આત્મકથા જે જીવનસંદેશ આપતી હોય તો તેનું મહત્ત્વ હોય.

Introduction

Player positions, fouls and violations.

Basketball is a healthy game played on an indoor court. The game is played by throwing a puffed-up ball over the heads of the players; the ball goes down through one of the two baskets dangling at each end of the court. The participating teams are usually made up of five players each and the winning team is that which gets many shots. If both teams have equal points, overtime is issued to get a winning team (Bonsor 2).

The game is played for recreational purposes in colleges, high schools and in other institutions. In addition, it is played professionally especially in Europe and the United States; some of professional leagues formed are the Olympic Games, the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the National Basketball Association. Basketball has grown to be one of the most popular and commonly viewed sports globally (“basketball basics” 2).

Basketball game was invented by James Naismith in 1981 when he was working as an instructor at a Springfield college, the YMCA training school. The first game was played using a soccer ball, the basics of playing hockey, soccer and football were used, peach baskets were wooden and fixed on the walls and each team had nine players. Basketball started as an indoor game for the students during winter and later it became a fashionable and a relaxed outdoor game. Later, the game spread to other United States colleges and countries all over the world, during the World War II, the sport was introduced to many countries (“History of Basket Ball” 2).

In 1934, basketball became popular in United States colleges during the first college sports at the Madison square garden and by the 1950s it became major games which lead to the growth of professional basketball leagues.

Basketball is basically a team sport. This game is played on a court rectangular in shape with a ring at each end. Usually, the court has two main sections divided by a line at the mid-court. This sport is played is played by two teams, each team is made up of five players. The team in possession of the ball is known as the offence and the other team is the defense. In the course of a game, when the offensive team places the ball at the back of the mid-court line, the team has to get the ball to the other side of the mid-court line in 10 seconds, when this happen, the team cannot possess the ball at the region at the back of the mid-court line. If the offensive team does not cross the ball in 10 seconds cross, defense gets the ball (Reimer 40).

The game is played by dribbling and passing the ball moving it down the defenders basket. The defense team always tries to get the ball from the offensive team, by making challenging shots, stealing and redirecting passes, bouncing back. When a team scores a field goal, usually known as a basket, is given two points and the ball is taken by the defending team. If the goal is made from a spot outside the three-point arc, it is worth one more point. In the case of a free throw, the team earns one point (Reimer 41).

A basketball game is divided into halves. The halves are of 20 minutes, each half is further divided into quarters of eight, six or twelve minutes depending on the level of the game. When the two teams earn same points at the end of the game, time is added until a winner is determined.

However, when a foul or a violation is committed in the course of a game against a shooter, the shooter is granted two or three free throws of which a free fall is worth one point. This depends on the type of the foul, the point at which it was done and the number of the fouls committed. If the shooter was outside the three-point line, then he is given three free throws. There are other fouls that do not consequently give free throws to the shooter, not until the fouls accumulate to a certain number in the course of an half. When that number is attained, the player fouled against is given the chance, given that, if the player makes a basket in his first free throw, he goes to the second free throw. In a case where the player misses the first shot, the defense gets the ball.

At the start of a game, each team is allocated a basket/ a field goal to defend whereby the other basket belonging to the other team is their goal. After halftime, the teams get to switch their baskets. The sport starts with a player from each of the teams at center court. The referee throws the ball up between the players and the one that catches the ball tosses it to a teammate, this is also known as a tip-off. When a player violates an opponent, the other team gets the ball.

In a game, players are divided into centers, forwards and guards. The centers are usually placed near the baskets and are the tallest players.

In the offensive side, centers aim is to block the defenders and open a pass, then shooting the basket; they get rebounds and put backs in order to get a shot. The defenders keep the offenders from scoring a basket and get rebounds. Forwards are required to play at the corners and wings, they play under the hoop. For offenders, they get outside passes and play rebounds while the defenders attempt to prevent these goal passes and also play rebounds for their teams. The guards work is to dribble and pass balls fast aiming the court, setting offensive plays to get a shot from the perimeter. The defense steals shots, preventing passes away from the hoop to the other side (Bonsor 2).

A foul occurs when a player makes an unacceptable physical conduct to a player from the other team; this can be by slapping, hitting, sticking out a hand or leg and pushing the opponent. When a player is fouled when shooting a three point goal and the ball misses the basket, the player is given three free throws. In the case when the ball gets the basket, he is given one free throw. The penalty for fouling a player when not shooting is that, the ball goes to the fouled team which is granted five seconds to pass it to the court. If a team commits seven or more fouls, the fouled player is given a free throw; on scoring the player is given a second free throw. In addition, when a team commits ten or more fouls, the other team gets two free throws. In cases involving a violent foul, the team fouled gets to retain the ball even after the free throws (Bonsor 6).

Violations involved are a player moving his pivot foot while not dribbling which is termed as travelling, palming which is dribbling the ball over the arm, doubling dribbling, and when the ball is held by two or more opposing players in an instance. If a player gets in the way of a ball on its way to the basket after it touches the backboard, it is a violation and this is counted as a score for the shooting team. The violation is referred to as goaltending. When a team has the ball over the mid-court line, they cannot go back in possession of the ball, if it happens, it is a backcourt violation and the ball is given to the defense (Laughead 4).

When a participant is passes the ball inbounds, he is given a time frame of five seconds. If he takes a longer time then the ball is given to the defense team. Nevertheless, there is usually the rule in basketball that a player cannot hold the ball for over five seconds and in some instances these time limitations entails the team to try a shot in the set time limit (Laughead 6).

To be a good basketball player, one needs to have the skills and fundamentals necessary in a game. These include proper hand and foot positioning, leg bend, angle of the arm and the knowledge of the proper game techniques. This is critical in making a successful basketball team (“basketball basics” 5).

The ancient ports of Lothal and Dholavira bear testimony to Gujarat’s maritime prowess and its role in international trade in antiquity. The state’s rich historical legacy is also reflected in its many forts, palaces, and architectural marvels like the Sun Temple of Modhera and the Rani ki Vav in Patan.

Gujarat, with its diverse geography, rich culture, historical significance, and economic dynamism, presents a unique blend of tradition and modernity. It stands as a testament to India’s pluralistic ethos and developmental aspirations. The state’s journey from the ancient cradle of civilization to a modern economic powerhouse is indeed a fascinating narrative that continues to unfold.

interrupt conversations and demand attention at inappropriate times. they might speak before they think, saying tactless or embarrassing things. it’s often difficult to get them to bed and to sleep.

sister with add/adhd mixed with jealousy and resentment. the impact of add/adhd on parents and, of course, having a child with add/adhd affects parents in many ways: the demands of a child with

when the tasks occur in predictable patterns and in predictable places. your job is to create and sustain structure in your home, so that your child knows what to expect and what they are expected to do. tips for helping your child with add/adhd stay focused and organized follow a routine. it is important to set a time and a place for everything to help the child with add/adhd understand and meet expectations. establish simple and predictable rituals for meals, homework, play, and bed. have your child lay out clothes for the next morning before going to bed, and make sure whatever he or she needs to take to school is in a special place, ready to grab. use clocks and timers. consider placing clocks throughout the house, with a big one in your child’s bedroom. allow enough time for what your child needs to do, such as homework or getting ready in the morning. use a timer for homework or transitional times, such between finishing up play and getting ready for bed. simplify your child’s schedule. it is good to avoid idle time, but a child with adhd may become more distracted and “wound up” if there are many after-school activities. you may need to make adjustments to the child’s after-school commitments based on the individual child’s abilities and the demands of particular activities. create a quiet place. make sure your child has a quiet, private space of his or her own. a porch or a bedroom work well too, as long as it’s not the same place as the child goes for a time-out. do your best to be neat and organized. set up your home in an organized way. make sure your child knows that everything has its place. role model neatness and organization as much as possible. avoid problems by keeping kids with attention deficit disorder busy! for kids with add/adhd, idle time may exacerbate their symptoms and create chaos in your home. it is important to keep a child with add/adhd busy without piling on so many things that the child becomes overwhelmed. sign your child up for a sport, art class, or music. at home, organize simple activities that fill up your child’s time. these can be tasks like helping you cook, playing a board game with a sibling, or drawing a picture. try not to over-rely on the television or computer/video games as time-fillers. unfortunately, tv and video games are increasingly violent in nature and may only increase your child’s symptoms of add/adhd. add/adhd parenting tip 3: set clear expectations and rules children with adhd need consistent rules that they can understand and follow. make the rules of behavior for the family simple and clear. write down the rules and hang them up in a place where your child can easily read them. children with add/adhd respond particularly well to organized systems of rewards and consequences. it's important to explain what will happen when the rules are obeyed and when they are broken. finally, stick to your system: follow through each and every time with a reward or a consequence. don’t forget praise and positive reinforcement as you establish these consistent structures, keep in mind that children with adhd often receive criticism. be on the lookout for good behavior—and praise it. praise is especially important for children who have add/adhd because they typically get so little of it. these children receive correction, remediation, and complaints about their behavior—but little positive reinforcement. a smile, positive comment, or other reward from you can improve the attention, concentration and impulse control of your child with add/adhd. do your best to focus on giving positive praise for appropriate behavior and task completion, while giving as few negative responses as possible to inappropriate behavior or poor task performance. reward your child for small achievements that you might take for granted in another child. kids with add/adhd: using rewards and consequences rewards consequences reward your child with privileges, praise, or activities, rather than with food or toys. consequences should be spelled out in advance and occur immediately after your child has misbehaved. change rewards frequently. kids with add/adhd get bored if the reward is always the same. try time-outs and the removal of privileges as consequences for misbehavior. make a chart with points or stars awarded for good behavior, so your child has a visual reminder of his or her successes. remove your child from situations and environments that trigger inappropriate behavior. immediate rewards work better than the promise of a future reward, but small rewards leading to a big one can also work. when your child misbehaves, ask what he or she could have done instead. then have your child demonstrate it. always follow through with a reward. always follow through with a consequence. add/adhd parenting tip 4: encourage movement and sleep physical activity can help your child with add/adhd better sleep can help your child with add/adhd children with add/adhd often have energy to burn. organized sports and other physical activities can help them get their energy out in healthy ways and focus their attention on specific movements and skills.

is the fact that exercise leads to better sleep, which in turn can also reduce the symptoms of add/adhd. find a sport that your child will enjoy and that suits his or her strengths. for example, sports such as softball that involve a lot of “down time” are not the best fit for children with attention problems. individual or team sports like basketball and hockey that require constant motion are better options. children with add/adhd may also benefit from martial arts training, tae kwon do, or yoga, which enhance mental control as they work out the body. better sleep can help your child with add/adhd insufficient sleep can make anyone less attentive, but it can be highly detrimental for children with add/adhd. kids with add/adhd need at least as much sleep as their unaffected peers, but tend not to get what they need. their attention problems can lead to overstimulation and trouble falling asleep. a consistent, early bedtime is the most helpful strategy to combat this problem, but it may not completely solve it. help your child get better rest by trying out one or more of the following strategies: decrease television time and increase your child's activities and exercise levels during the day. eliminate caffeine from your child’s diet. create a buffer time to lower down the activity level for an hour or so before bedtime. find quieter activities such as coloring, reading or playing quietly. spend ten minutes cuddling with your child. this will build a sense of love and security as well as provide a time to calm down. use lavender or other aromas in your child's room. the scent may help to calm your child. use relaxation tapes as background noise for your child when falling asleep. there are many varieties available including nature sounds and calming music. children with add/adhd often find "white noise" to be calming. you can create white noise by putting a radio on static or running an electric fan. the benefits of “green time” in kids with attention deficit disorder research shows that children with add/adhd benefit from spending time in nature. kids experience a greater reduction of symptoms of add/adhd when they play in a park full of grass and trees than on a concrete playground. take note of this promising and simple approach to managing add/adhd. even in cities, most families have access to parks and other natural settings. join your children in this “green time”—you’ll also get a much-deserved breath of fresh air for yourself. add/adhd parenting tip 5: help your child eat right diet is not a direct cause of attention deficit disorder, but food can and does affect your child's mental state, which in turn seems to affect behavior. monitoring and modifying what, when, and how much your child eats can help decrease the symptoms of add/adhd. all children benefit from fresh foods, regular meal times, and staying away from junk food. these tenets are especially true for children with add/adhd, whose impulsiveness and distractedness can lead to missed meals, disordered eating, and overeating. eating small meals more often may help your child’s add/adhd children with add/adhd are notorious for not eating regularly. without parental guidance, these children might not eat for hours and then binge on whatever is around. the result of this pattern can be devastating to the child’s physical and emotional health. prevent unhealthy eating habits by scheduling regular nutritious meals or snacks for your child no more than three hours apart. physically, a child with add/adhd needs a regular intake of healthy food; mentally, meal times are a necessary break and a scheduled rhythm to the day. get rid of the junk foods in your home. put fatty and sugary foods off-limits when eating out. turn off television shows riddled with junk-food ads. give your child a daily vitamin-and-mineral supplement. to learn more, see nutrition for children and teens. add/adhd parenting tip 6: teach your child how to make friends tip for helping your child with add/adhd stay focused and organized children with add/adhd often have difficulty with simple social interactions. they may struggle with reading social cues, talk too much, interrupt frequently, or come off as aggressive or “too intense.” their relative emotional immaturity can make them stand out among children their own age, and make them targets for unfriendly teasing. don’t forget, though, that many kids with add/adhd are exceptionally intelligent and creative and will eventually figure out for themselves how to get along with others and spot people who aren’t appropriate as friends. moreover, personality traits that might exasperate parents and teachers may come across to peers as funny and charming. helping a child with attention deficit disorder improve social skills it's hard for children with adhd to learn social skills and social rules. you can help your child with add/adhd become a better listener, learn to read people’s faces and body language, and interact more smoothly in groups. speak gently but honestly with your child about his or her challenges and how to make changes. role-play various social scenarios with your child. trade roles often and try to make it fun. be careful to select playmates for your child with similar language and physical skills. invite only one or two friends at a time at first. watch them closely while they play. have a zero tolerance policy for hitting, pushing and yelling in your house or yard. make time and space for your child to play, and reward good play behaviors often.
