I have a son, who is now 6, and is still hyper and just won't listen. It is very frustrating and overwhelming, but it will get better. The best advice I can give is to be patient and persistent in your discipline. Find what really interests your child- for my son it is sports (he started playing everything at 3 1/2). It can be arts or even music. Food can also cause reactions. Orange juice and gum are my son's worst offenders. Sometimes they just need to take a nap, (or a time out where they just they stop for 20 minutes)eventhough they don't think so. You may be able to realize that around snack time they tend to really get out of control- or the middle of the day. For my son, it is because he is tired, but he gets all riled up insted of slowing down- like he's fighting it or something. Also, please enlist help from other friends and family so you can take a time out and relax or just catch your breath sometimes. My son is more than a handfull and i can loose my cool pretty quick sometimes. It's better to walk away or ignore sometimes. Good luck!!

Give a smack on the butt and only the butt that way it's not child abuse. Worked for my parents when I was being a bratty child. If you let it go it would only get worse and you possibly could be looking at the next serial rapist, serial murderer, a gang leader ot just a totally f****ing bum with a sign that says "Will work for food" in a downtown area somewhere. Discipline is the key. I believe in a little whoopping on the *** to tell the child you don't always get what you want. Life is not that way. So go ahead and smack 'em when they misbehave. You're the parent act like one.

I went through this and I wish you luck. Try time outs. I don't advise spanking a hyper child because it doesn't do any good. You will be wasting your energy and might get so mad you overdo it. Try also "replacing: behavior, remove child from problem and give them something else to do instead telling them why when you do it. ALWAYS reward their good behavior at least verbally so they will see the diffference. Also, take things away that they see as rewards telling them why when they are misbehaving.

My son is 3 and he's very hyper active. You need to give him something to occupy him because when he gets bored, that's when he acts up because he wants your attention. Make sure to spend time with him every day one-on-one, and remember to be patient with him. If worse comes to worse, spank him. But don't just swat him, spank him like you mean it. You have to be firm in your actions, if you say you're going to do something, do it, or else he'll know he can get away with stuff. Occupy him tho, and make sure he gets a nap during the day, my son really acts up when he hasn't had a nap.

I have a almost 4 yr old daughter, i just talk with her and have alot of patience with her, Kids learn from what they see, so try and set a good, calm example for your child.

my daughter is now 9 but when she was around your child's age she became very hyper active and i realized it was sugar and some foods and snacks,I noticed that it got worse after every meal or snack. i started going to the health food store to buy all natural foods and snacks,and noticed a change in her behavior right away,she started to listen and she calmed down,you could try that and tell your pediatrician too,good luck!

Um, go to a docter and he might give you some meds. So, yeah, i am very hyper and annoying but I can be calm. Ask about Stratara or COnseta or some thing like to calm him/her down.
