What are the ways to deal with hyperactive child?

Every kid has their crazy days…when you feel like you are going to lose your mind… and then there are some hyperactive kids that seem as though they were wired with an extra battery. Here are some ways to help them calm down:

  • Keep them away from sugar: Children tend to eat lots of sweetened foods and drinks. This makes them more hyper because of the sudden rush of energy that these foods provide. So monitor the amount of sugar that your kid is eating and control the amount if required.
  • With Other kids: Hyperactive kids tend to get excited while playing and may dominate other kids; they also tend to push and hit others. You need to set rules about behavior early on. Tell them hitting and pushing are not ok, so is dominating.
  • Be Flexible: Listening is a key skill that they have to posses in order to learn and to make friends. Tell them a story and ask questions about it later, this way they will pay attention. When sitting at one place is a challenge, you can give them a squeeze ball in their hands which they can squeeze and release their energy. Give them space to work and let them express themselves.
