Dirt Bike For a Seven Year Old With AD/HD?

November 14, 2014 by KLRain

Dear Dr. Rain:

For Christmas I want to buy our 7-year-old daughter a dirt bike, the kind that is motorized. She has AD/HD and is a real outdoors kind of girl. We think it will help her burn off some energy and it could be an incentive to work harder in school. There are even competitions she could eventually enter. The longer we wait to give her the bike, the further behind she will be in competitions. I know I would’ve loved this bike as a kid. Her mom thinks it’s a bad idea and would rather buy her a Wii. We agreed to listen to your ideas about this.

Signed,

Speed Demon
