Now many parents are faced with the issue of hyperactivity of children. A hyperactive child is a noisy, excitable, constantly on the move child. He is interested in literally everything, but it is very difficult to focus his attention on something specific.
Causes of Hyperactivity
There is no single reason for a child's hyperactivity. This is influenced by several factors.
1. The presence of certain infections in the mother during pregnancy, smoking, drug or alcohol use, the presence of diseases, incompatibility for the Rh factor, and more.
2. Strict upbringing of a child and frequent family conflicts can provoke the appearance of hyperactivity.
3. 80% of a child's hyperactivity depends on genetic factors.
How does hyperactivity manifest in a child?
It's pretty easy to recognize her. If a child does not sit still for a second, runs, jumps all the time, constantly fiddles with something, breaks, climbs somewhere, then this means that the child is hyperactive.
Most often, hyperactivity manifests itself when the child is very capricious and crying, cannot sit quietly, does not dwell on specific things for a long time.
How to deal with hyperactivity?
Psychologists do not recommend strongly suppressing overactivity. The child's energy must necessarily go out, and not accumulate. However, if every day the child becomes more restless, then he needs to be shown to a neurologist and psychologist.
In the fight against hyperactivity, comprehensive help helps. Here you need medical intervention in conjunction with activities that will be carried out by a psychologist. The main treatment is to channel the child's energy in the right direction. It is important to follow a strict daily routine, play more in the fresh air.
Hyperactive children do not show much interest in a particular occupation. However, as a rule, active children are more fond of physical education, so it would not hurt to send such a child to the sports section. It is very difficult to communicate with hyperactive children. A strict upbringing is unacceptable for them. Even small achievements of such a child should be encouraged. Do not overload the child too much.
Hyperactivity is not a disease, but it won't go away on its own. Therefore, parents must be patient.
