Just wondering how many of you who have dealt with mental blocks also have focus issues or possibly ADD/ADHD?
My daughter has been dealing with pretty bad mental blocks on her tumbling for 7 months now after a scary fall in Aug. She has been working with a wonderful gymnastics coach for the past 2 months and has her standing BHS back, but is still struggling with any kind of connected tumbling. She does have ADD, and is currently on an ADHD medication that has a known side benefit of helping to decrease anxiety (she is an anxious child...typical of kids with ADD), but she has grown a lot in both height and weight in the last few months and is due for a dose adjustment. Her focus and anxiety are problematic right now because of this. I am wondering if this could be making it more difficult to get over her block....
