Growing up we had a very effective solution for ADHD. It was called farm work. 12 - 15 hours a day for 6 - 7 days a week is guaranteed to take the hyperactivity out of any child.

Toss in a good dose of tractor and machinery operating for much of that time and the attention disorder disapears right quick as well.
