Hyperactivity is not a disease, but a state of the child's nervous system, so you should not treat him like a sick person. Parents need to learn how to calm down a hyperactive baby, and channel his irrepressible energy into a peaceful channel, developing a consistent line of behavior for this.
Instructions
Step 1
Maintain a clear daily routine. A hyperactive child should eat, walk and go to bed at the same time to prevent the possibility of overexcitation.
Step 2
Train yourself to communicate with your child calmly, avoid orders, shouts, as well as emotionally uplifted intonations, so that a very receptive and sensitive baby does not join your mood.
Step 3
Be sure to offer an alternative when you prohibit something. For example, if a hyperactive kid tears up a book or wallpaper on the wall, offer him an old newspaper, if he throws toys, a ball. Say aloud the rules: "You can't throw toys, but if you want to throw something, here's a ball for you", "You can't tear the wallpaper, but try to tear the newspaper, and then put the scraps in a bag."
Step 4
Protect your child from watching television and long-term computer activities.
Step 5
Go to a pool or other sports section together. Exercise will help release excess energy and will be very beneficial for the child. But make sure that he does not overwork.
Step 6
Take your child for a walk every night. During the walk, ask about his problems, listen carefully and support. A measured step and fresh air will help him calm down.
Step 7
Give your baby a warm bath at night with the addition of soothing herbs if, after running around during the day, he cannot sleep. Read your favorite book or turn on quiet, calm music.
Step 8
In a difficult situation, when the child is upset and excited, hug him, hug him, pat him on the head - in dynamics this has a positive effect, because physical contact is very important for these children.
Step 9
And, most importantly, tell your child more often that he is very dear to you. The confidence that they are accepted and loved for who they are, regardless of their actions and behavior, is especially necessary for hyperactive children.
