why are kids so hyper?

Question

some people say because they eat too much sweets & candy, but my lil brother is always hyper & can't stop screaming & yelling even if he doesn't eat candy. can anyone offer any scientific explaination as to why kids have such nature?

Answer 1

The food industry. They put chemicals in the foods you feed your children at a very young age. The chemicals make kids ultra-hyper, thus exhausting the energy they had gotten from the foods, thereby making them hungry again and needing to eat more. Making parents have to buy more food in order to sustain the childs motabolism.

Doesn't it seem that kids eat more these days than when 2 generations ago? I know we all think we ate alot when we were young, or that our kids a generation ago ate alot, but really think about it and pay attenetion to the way kids eat these days.

Answer 2

Our kittens were hyper as well two to three times a day. Just in the nature of the beasts. Keep in mind that things such as bread, potato chips, pasta, potatoes and white rice also turn to sugar and can have a kid bouncing off the walls as quickly as candy.

Answer 3

I can't speak for food, but lifestyle is a big part. Some other countries have babies and toddlers who're much calmer than ours. They have less excitement for little kids. Fewer shopping trips, car rides, eating out, movies, etc., more like life in the 50's and 60's.

Homes used to be much quieter, few telephones ringing, no TV, no music, no constant movement in cars. If your brother had plenty of time outside to run around, climb trees, build stuff, roll around on the ground with only mild supervision and then came into a quiet house with bath and dinner and reading or puzzles, he'd be much less hyper.

Answer 4

He's probably just maxing out his energy reservoir. How old is he? If he's a toddler, and he's at an exploratory stage then he is going to tire himself out until he knows how far he can push himself. It's just that with kids there's an apparent constant state of adrenaline rush because it takes very little to inspire awe in them (unlike with adults) and to make them happy. And when you're happy you really just bounce off walls. Candy and exercise both release endorphins or another chemical in one's body, right?
If he's not a toddler and this being hyper is meddling with academics then you should be asking more questions.

Answer 5

They just have alot of energy. Sugar can make it worse, though. My son rarely eat sweets and is very active. When he can't seem to sit still or is "bouncing off the walls" we usually go outside to ride bikes, play ball or whatever. (which we do everyday, anyway) If we are inside I have him race down the hall, touch the wall and run back to me. (Sometimes he will take turns doing this with my daughter) He thinks it's a fun game and after a while he has gotten some of that energy out.

Answer 6

Probably because their bodies are so small that the energy is compacted. I keep saying that if I could bottle the energy of a toddler and sell it I would never have to work again.

Answer 7

NO. somebody did an test some years lower back giving one team of infants sugar candy and yet another team sugar-loose candy with out telling the two team what that they had. the two communities all started appearing rambunctious interior a couple of minutes. It become all of their suggestions. of course as quickly as between the youngsters got here down from his "excessive" the others rapidly started out to drop additionally.

Answer 8

Because they're children. You were like that when you were his age.

Answer 9

youth and energy
