For some children who are more motor or agitated (including those with a diagnosis of ADHD), the concept of relaxation is sometimes very difficult to understand. Children who need to move find it difficult to simply stop and relax. Progressive muscle relaxation is an excellent option in this case, as it brings relaxation while satisfying the child's need to contract muscles. Controlled muscle contractions bring thinking back to the here and now, calming the whirlwind of ideas.
