"How to raise a hyperactive child?" - the question is perhaps the most pressing today,
which can be found in many women's magazines and forums. It should be noted that this behavior is both a plus and a minus. The advantage, of course, is that the child actively learns to know the world: he plays, expresses his emotions, learns a lot of new things. On the other hand, all this can become a serious problem, because parents want to stay in peace and quiet, and such a hyperactive miracle certainly will not allow you to relax. That is why many mothers do not consider this behavior of the child normal and natural. In our article today, we will try to find out what hyperactivity syndrome in children is, and also how to cope with it with the least loss.
What words can characterize such a baby? First of all - there are too many of it. He is active, agile, lively, inquisitive. However, these qualities begin to go beyond what is permitted, becoming a rather serious problem. Many parents recognize that their child is hyperactive. What to do with him in such situations?
For starters, it is recommended that you learn to distinguish hyperactivity from simple activity. Many mothers now complain about their babies just because they are supposedly playing very noisy or too keen on outdoor games. Of course, it’s easier to blame everything on hyperactivity in order to justify itself in the fact that there is nothing you can do about the child who is out of control. However, in this situation, this is just an energetic baby, who can not be called hyperactive. In this case, you just need to learn how to control it and direct the energy in the right direction.
Now let's talk about situations when it is really possible to state a fact: the child is hyperactive. What to do and how to educate him? Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD for short, is a disease, and it is quite serious in the sense that it is sometimes almost impossible to cope with it. Most often, ADHD suffers from children from orphanages who, from birth, do not know what kindness of parents is. It is natural that they grow in other conditions, respectively, learn everything on their own. The manifestation of hyperactivity is just one of the symptoms of a developing disease. It is easy to notice such a child - he does not calm down even for a second. He is always in the thick of things, always turned on. It is impossible to put him in his place with threats or screams (unlike the usual kid playing out). Sometimes such children do not even realize that they are being too active, because for them this condition is constant. It is in such situations that we can already say that the child is hyperactive. What to do and how to deal with the disease?
Naturally, such children need support and special care. Learn to listen to the baby, as well as clearly articulate your requirements. Since ADHD is a disease, you need to be as soft as possible with your child. No screams, hysterics - it will only be to the detriment. Learn to encourage the baby for good behavior, and to the extent of scolding for bad.
In a situation if your child is hyperactive, what to do, tell psychologists. Consult a specialist about treatment options for this disease. It is treated - you just need to know how.
