Calming Tips for Hyperactive Children

I as a father of a now grown up hyperactive children know the "Would you please just settle down?!" phrase well or panic when you dont hear or see him because you never know what is happening ?

There are a number of tips to help settle a hyperactive child down. These quick tips and relaxation techniques take the same amount of time as yelling and scolding but produce incredibly different results in hyperactive children.

Quick Calming Tips:

Try quick tips to calm a hyperactive child down during temper outbursts or unusually rowdy days. These calming tips are not novel to adults by any stretch. How many times have you heard "Take a deep breath and count to 10". What works for big people works for little people as well.

Deep breathing is one of the simplest ways to calm the body. Teach your children to take deep breaths (in through the nose, out through the mouth) when they begin to feel frustrated and out of control. Parents, you do this too!

Draw a warm salt bath or bubble bath to wash away the child's stresses of the day.

Take your child for a walk or send them around the block on their own let him play with friends or the father should play a bit of say football or Basket ball. Not only does walking or running or playing burn off excess energy, the repetitive thump, thump, thump of feet hitting pavement brings the mind back into focus.

Give your hyperactive child a mini-massage. Touch is very important tosuch children. Massaging their temples, giving a shoulder rub or lightly running your fingers through their hair can calm children quickly.

Put together a "Boredom Box" that provides creative outlets for your hyperactive child. Fill this box or plastic storage bin with paint sets, coloring books, crossword puzzles, modeling clay, jewelry making kits, set of carpenter tools, Mechano, Modelling sets and other artistic areas of interest. Hyperactive children bore easily and their fast spinning minds need extra stimulation. In the absence of nothing better to do, hyperactive children will lean on their own devises and you don't want them doing that. Better that they draw or play or build something than set the house on fire...

The quick-fix calming techniques work to sooth the hyperactive child after they already became too stressed or active. There are also techniques that parents can teach their hyperactive children to help them get the "stuff" out before it builds up and explodes.

Create a calming home environment:

Hyperactivity children have difficulty remaining calm in a hectic environment. Clearing the clutter and taking a "less is more" approach to decorating can reduce the sensory overload off such children.

The child's bedroom especially should be free of clutter. Use plastic bins to organize and store all those precious little plastic treasures (that we adults commonly refer to as "junk") and small toys. Open the curtains to provide natural lighting. Keep posters and wall hangings to a minimum. Paint the child's bedroom in calming muted colors instead of bright primary colors.

Follow a Routine:

All children thrive in homes that provide routines, consistency and structure. Hyperactive children especially need structure and schedules to feel secure in their surroundings.

For these children, a more "military" approach to routines works better. Waking up, eating meals, doing homework, and bed times should all occur at about the same time every day, with few surprises which upsets the child.

A Place to Relax:

If at all possible, find a space in the house to designate as a relaxation space. It does not have to be a large space but it does need to be away from high activity areas. This little corner (or even a portion of a walk-in closet) can have a beanbag chair and a few books, coloring books or other quiet time activities like video games, a carpentery set, a Mechano and such like toys.

Encourage your child to go to this space when they become angry or out of control, but never make this a place of punishment. This special spot in the house is a positive place where they can go to settle down, sort things out or just hang out when they need to be alone.

Last, but certainly not least, diet:

Some parents find that reducing or eliminating sugar from the diet goes a long way in calming the hyperactive child. If your child is a finicky eater, you will need to supplement the diet to make sure your child has the fuels needed for his body to function well.

Starting the day out with a healthy breakfast balanced with proteins, fats and carbs is important. An egg sandwich, peanut butter toast and fresh fruit, protein shakes and fresh fruit are great ways to start the day for children.

Sugar cereals are quick and convenient but should not be used as a breakfast mainstay. Fruit juices are high in calories and sugar and not recommended for children, especially those who are hyperactive. Instead of juice or sodas, get in the habit of offering plain old Water. With plenty of bottled waters that offer fruit flavors and vitamin enhancements, getting your children hydrated is easier now than ever before.

All this worked well on my son, so the catch word is keep him busy keep him occupied with something constructive or some activity in which he is talented like playing a musical instrument like the mouthorgan or a flute, watching TV or movies are not his cup of tea. Good Luck >>rr

Answer 2

I don't think it is ADHD. I think it is a behavior problem. If he is ok doing school work and can focus on that and finish...and his teachers have not said he has a problem in school, then I really doubt it is that. Sounds like he doesn't like your attention to be on anyone else but him. Maybe have him see a counselor....and the two of you can go together. Good luck!

Answer 3

He's probably really close to you right? He probably gets jealous when you speak to a stranger because he wants all your attention. Kids go through stages like this. He doesn't have problems in school because he knows that your not there. But out of school he wants you all to himself. If it was ADHD, he would have problems both at home and at school. I would not worry to much. Parents always have a tendency to over worry since you naturally love your son and want the best for him. We as parents sometimes inflate minor problems and make them seem as something bigger because of our worrying. If you see that it trully looks as something that is hindering him, for your peace of mind, talk to his pediatrician about it.

Answer 4

He is as normal as they come and his behavior at school proves it. Most people won't like this answer, but I guarantee it will work:
Just spank him when he does it, and after a few times, he will quit doing it... simple as that.

Answer 5

it seems to me that he is bored in the house
may be you are not giving enough attention to him
is he your only/first son?
are there no elders in the family?
put him to karate ,swimming or any other class which drains him of his physical energy
introduce him to friends in and around your neighbourhood
narrate to him good made up stories to improve his manners (get your ides from Enid Bliton books)
show him and make him believe that he comes first and he is the most important member of the family.take his help in serving your guest
remember he is only a 5 yer old child and needs lot of love and attention
