Stop Giving him sugar
Give him some pills or something to calm him down

I have seven kids, yes all mine. The last one is four and as soon as he got legs under him he never stopped running around. Boys expecially are active from about 1 1/2- 6yrs old. I agree with a lot of others. Sugar and any thing with sugar in it. Flavored cereal, Koolaid, soda, Read the lables on things if they have a red dye in it don't give it to him. Also, the ingredient that is in diet soda ( what ever the sweetener is called) is worse than sugar. Most things that say diet or sugar free has this stuff in it and a lot of the time when some one looks for a food that has no sugar they think that when it says sugar free that that is the truth ITS NOT. Off the food subject television that has high intensity visuals can cause over excitement limit the viewing. For a while they won't want to watch things that are slow per say but eventually if he considers it a privalage he will settle for it especially if he is just 2. If you have access to a yard or playground let him play out there for a few hours. If that does not work it may be a food alergy. Even if it is not ADHD children normally have an aboundance of energy put it to good use. Get him to use it in a good way and don't freak out when he over reacts because that will make him do it more.

Have you ever taken into consideration that your son may have HDD (Hypertension Deficit Disorder).I am a mother of a 8 year old girl and 2 boys 5 and 1 and trust me my one year old never ever sleeps so I can kind of relate.I personally don't believe in HDD but when you have parents that can't control their children the you leave these doctors no choice but to come up with all this BullSh**.Kids are just being kids some over hyper, some extremely shy, some talkative, some moody, and some risky the list can go on and on somebody is saying right now i wish my kids jumped off the walls like a monkey as oppose to just sitting there starring at the T.V. Be the best parent you can be he'll probably grow out of it anyway.

Ok. Assuming he's medically okay and you have tried everything, (this might sound too New Age for you, but you never know until you try) ... look into some calming activities such as massage and a scaled down version of yoga or stretching. When our kids were around this age, we put child carriers on the back of our bicycles and took them on really long bike rides in the evening. The evening air totally wore them out for a good long sleep. But I also agree with the person who said you need a break or some help, and when you are able to maintain your own calm, it will start to rub off on him more. Good luck, and it doesn't last forever no matter how bad it seems. Mine are both adults now and it seems like I just blinked and their whole childhood was over.

Well, by looking at the age on your profile and such, I'm gonna assume that you just weren't expecting to deal with a kid at this age. Whether you like it or not, a child is going to be loud, hyper, active and yes, even annoying at times. I would suggest getting him oustide more. Children his age don't just expell energy on their own very well while their parents are on the computer asking questions on Yahoo, or partying and hanging out with their friends.
Take him to his pediatrician, get him on a regular diet and bed time and make sure he is getting plenty of time playing outside and with his friends. (We're talking at least a few hours every day) Unless he has some sort of real problem (ADHD) he should start to calm down. Children that age need structure in their lives, set routines and plenty of exercise.
No matter what you do, a two year old is ALWAYS going to get into stuff and be on the move, sorry dude.

You need to learn some parenting strategies to deal with an active child. This doesnt mean you're a bad parent; a very active child can be frustrating and exhausting. Read some of the other questions on here about hyper kids. Just remember to be consistent and don't be too tired to follow through on consequences for behavior. If you're inconsistent you might as well not even do anything because the child will be confused. Also don't make threats to your child that you can''t possibly follow through on or he will never take you seriously.

OK - first things first. Are you a single caretaker? Is there anyone available to relieve you? Have you spoken with your pediatrician? How old is the child? Has he been checked for allergies - food or otherwise? Was this child born of parents who took drugs or drank a lot? Can you chart his behavior?
I ask these things because when my daughter was a toddler we discovered that she was hypoglycemic as well as reacted to certain fruits and foods. When we changed her eating habits and removed certain foods from her diet we were able to make Huge strides to contain her behavior problems.
I also knew that the more upset and tensed up that I got the more she fed off that tension. You must have someone to help you when you cannot handle things.
So, stop wasting your time here - get your son and you evaluated by professionals and get some hands on help now! If finances are an issue go to social services. There is help out there.
Good luck!

I find it odd that a 2-yr old has been tested for ADHD!
What did you think - a young child would just sit in a chair and be quiet?!
NO WAY!
It's normal for a 2 yr old to be active. This is called HEALTHY.
Give him some things to do - to keep him busy. Maybe spend some time with him. Take him to the park - this is summer and there's a million things to do.
Otherwise, if you're still insistent on being that bad of a parent - enroll him into a daycare center for a few hours a day - and let someone else more willing to be with him, spend some quality time with him.
BTW - shame on you.

Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest something unconventional here .... Maybe it's your expectations?
As the mom of a 2yr old, I definitely know about hyper behavior! I lose calories just watching my daughter run and bounce and fling herself from one end of a room to the other. It's just how things are with 2yr olds.
If your doc is not in agreement that your son is ADHD, it probably means - bad news - your son doesn't have a problem! It probably means that you have some unrealistic expectations. I know that's not what you wanted to hear.
Have you tried a counselor? Not for your 2yr old (he's too young even for play therapy), but for YOU to get parenting advice? Or try a parenting coach.

How about getting off of the computer and spending some time with him? What does he do while you're on here asking questions...run around and act hyper? There's a sure sign that he needs to get outside and play.
Even if you are young, you can't just ignore a two year old while you go about your life. They won't just sit down and shut up so that you can party or play on the computer. Maybe it's you and not him.
