how to handle a hyper-active child?

Answer 1

IN VERY POLITE WAY.

Answer 2

I can answer this question from the heart because my 13 year old son has ADHD and I have been trying new things and ways to handle this for 8 years now and here are some of the things that I have found to be very helpful to me and my family. 1). Keep child on a daily routine. 2). When it comes to homework let him/her do it in time blocks because a hyper child can not be expected to sit for long periods of time. 3). Have the child do chores that are suitable for age. 4). I thought on this one for almost a year. I had my son put on meds and the meds truly helped my son but this was a personal decision on my part and it is truly up to the parents. If your child really has a hyper disorder meds really do help but if your child is just spoiled and likes to push your buttons then meds are a waste of his time and yours.

Answer 3

Okay - my husband and i are experts on this!!!!
The best thing we found is to give fish oil tablets. These have only recently been proven to improve children with ADHD. Some ADHD children in a study done in Australia came off their medication and used fish oil tablets instead and got great results.

The other things include;
2. Vitamins (childrens). We notice that giving vitamins and fish oil tablets daily (only the amount recommended on the labels) have the best benefit.

3. What they eat and drink - avoid breads with preservatives. A lot of bread companies write it on the bread packets.
Avoid sugary, processed and junk foods. Especially NO COLA, CHOCOLATE OR PRODUCTS WITH CAFFIENE!!! Colours and flavours are no good either. Just stick to a healthy food lifestyle.

4. Get lots of exercise and not let get overtired.

Try not to get too harsh (as in punishment) because if it is a behaviour that they can not control then it is not really their fault. They are getting into trouble for something that their body is just taking control off.

It is much better to teach them that they are feeling active now and what they can do - eg go outside for a while and be active will help.

I honestly say to you though that fish oil tablets are a god send! Try them - they work. (And they are reallly good for brain function and general health too.)

Answer 4

Try to make a time schedule for the child and make him/her follow strictly. Activities are to arranged in such a way that after each rigorous activity there is one with less physical work. For example after dancing you can fix painting. You also need to involve yourself in these activities so that the child gets interested. Never loose temper.

Answer 5

I have two boys 6 & 2 yrs. I find that having a "special project" or item helps to keep their mind on something other than boredom & bad behavior. My 6 yr old is very intelligent & needs to be stimulated at all times if not he is off the walls not because he's hyperactive but because he's bored. At school his teacher has learned that the best way to handle him is by always allowing choices not just telling him "you have to do this". He feels he's helping not just being GOOD. not sure if this helps but I hope it might.

Answer 6

'Cream' the child. The term 'to cream' means take baby oil and rub it on the childs arms, feet, hands, arms, back, stomach and chest. You should use a motion that resembles milking a cow. The strength and firmness you use should be the same as milking a cow. Don't worry it won'e harm the child it only calms the child down and makes the child concentrate.

Answer 7

The child goes hyper active is because something is gon wrong firest check what is the problem he is having and then patiently
take care of him

Answer 8

u should have written how old is your child. but my true believe there is no hyper active child, there is a bored child or not disciplined enough child. find him smth to do always - it's a cure for everything

Answer 9

tiring eh?....i think the best thing is to try and distract his-her attention when he's doing something he shouldn't..it's easy to ignore them when they get so hyper, putting on a dvd etc...anything for a rest sometimes!...but it's not the way to go, it will result in bad behaviour in the future and attention seeking behaviours...Put him in playschool a few days a week, take him to the park and let him run of steam..if the problems severe go to the docs and talk with him.

Answer 10

You should be happy about it.
Hyper-active is relative term - parent not coping with the enthusiasm of their genetic extension.
Most of the mischiefs (?) are out bust of those things their parent could not do in their childhood.
Understand them.Enjoy their performance.Channelise properly to benefit their future. Bless them.

Answer 11

keep a written schedule from morning til night and try not to stray too much from it each day. He will come to know his routine and hyper children really need that. Good luck, and if all else fails, just remember: vodka is your friend!!
