Answer 1

Take out of his diet: white flour, white sugar, soda, dairy products, aspartame, high fructose, fast food, MSG, artificial sweeteners.
Also: enroll him in an after school sport.

Answer 2

This is a simple 1. Theres nothing wrong with your child. just sit down and talk to him. maybe try taking away some of his favorite snacks and replace em with crackers. and about the bad things you can always pull a stunt and just leave him alone for a good 2 days. just cook a big dinner and go stay with a freind. if he's a good kid he will feed and clean himself and the house .he would just do what you would normally be home 2 do. if he does that then thats how you find out he's responsible. and just call to check up on him. tell him when u get back u'll bring him a present for being so good. and that tops it. if he knows he's been bad he will correct himself cuz he wants the present. kinda just play mind games with him and watch how he reacts. i know it sounds weird but it puts kids in there place its been done 2 me. and it worked

Answer 3

Try giving him a small amount of coffee when he is hyper. It can be in a mug as regular coffee, a slushy, coolatta, iced coffee. My 9 year old is the same way. The coffee has a reverse effect on him than it does an adult. This is what I had to have the school do with him also. This question sounds like I wrote it! Hang in there.

Answer 4

Swimmer had the right idea...channel his energy creatively. Also try some Traditional Martial Arts...Karate. Teaches discipline, self control, respect, plus he'll get to expend energy exercising. Look for a school that offers unlimited classes. positive reward system (belt ranking) and a sense of self accomplishment! Good Luck! Time will mature & mellow him out!

Answer 5

Cut all sugars, fast food, convenience food etc. Replace with real, non-processed, wholesome food. Severely limit the video games, movies, computer and TV time and get the kid outside! Run, climb, go to the park, build a fort! Anything to help the child release the energy that would cause them to act inappropriately indoors. The kid can't help himself if he is high on energy, and it's the parents job to find a way to safely and appropriately release it, and do it EVERYDAY. It really will make your life easier.

Answer 6

Everyone is sending your son off to the doctor - not necessary! My eight year old is full of energy and the most important thing is directing that energy to a positive outlet. Is your son active in sports? Get him on a team or on his bike for a ride or out for a hike. Even better - do it with him! You want him to be strong and healthy and use his energy toward good things. That will help him to succeed in life. Love him and guide him. Good luck!

Answer 7

Go to the doctor and have him to give him a complete exam, also continue to watch her foods. Also try "Calming" is can be taken as an homeopathic (drops under the tongue), syrup, tablets, this has helped me w/ my 7 yr old, she hates to go to sleep at night. Also, go and get some Chamomile lotion and put a drop on the inside of his wrist and temples and rub in, also give him a small cup of chamomile tea to sip on 30 mins. before bedtime or at lunchtime. use some easy listening instructmental music and lower the noise in the house.

I wish you well, you may contact me if you like.

Answer 8

he's 4. He does not could desire to concentration on baseball and rather does not could desire to concentration on homework. What homework does he have, till you're homeschooling him? He desires shape - awaken around the comparable time daily, consume breakfast, dress, if he is going to preschool or daycare, he will have that. If no longer, then you certainly do no longer could desire to be a daycare, yet you may desire to spend time with him. do no longer park him in front of the television. Take him on errands with you and clarify why you do the failings you do. "we are getting tomatoes to positioned on our salad, because of the fact tomatoes have lycopene it relatively is surely solid for you." No, that's no longer real toddlers are purely attracted to caricature characters and different retarded issues the media teaches your toddlers to consume (no, i'm no longer asserting cartoons are undesirable, however the licensing of all the characters on each and every little thing is). each and every 2nd is a coaching 2nd. He can study to delight in being exterior and surely each and every little thing in case you delight in it. once you're in front of the television all day staring at Snookie, that's what he will think of is substantial. Get him books he can get into, like the educational books from Usborne books. in case you may arise with the money for Nike footwear and Quicksilver shirts for him, then you certainly can arise with the money for to inventory a bookshelf for him. i will guess he'd concentration on baseball in case you took him out and threw a ball decrease backward and forward with him. do no longer spank him for being a newborn. Spank him once you ask him two times to do some thing and he sasses decrease back and could no longer pay attention. Spanking isn't plenty a punishment as the thank you to get their interest. Threats to spanking are merely mean and retarded, do no longer do it. It serves no solid objective.

Answer 9

I'm 36 years old.Back in my day....
We didn't have "time out"
We didn't have "counselors"
We didn't have "therapists"
We got a slap upside the head,and a nice loud "Shut the hell up!"
This might sound cruel,but you didn't hear about kids in the
5 0'clock news back then.
Nowadays the news is all about "Momma goes to jail for slapping kid",and then you hear five minutes later..."Teen goes to jail for murder"
Think about it....since parents have been getting in trouble for "child abuse" our kids have been getting in more and more trouble!
We don't get to discipline our children anymore! It's socially unnacceptable to do so!
Take my advice....slap him in his mouth when he acts up! You'll be doing him,yourself,and society a favor!
