“How reactive it is!” – says the grandmother
Hyperactive child requires increased attention. If your child has such a diagnosis (and he is made on the basis of special examinations), prescribed treatment, then certainly give your child support to the house.
Hyperactive child. What to do?
Follow the strict daily routine of the child
The slightest shift in the schedule can lead to a violation of the organization of the whole day, the poor health of the child, whims and even hysteria (for example, if you did not sleep during the day).
Limit the time of eating and performing household duties
Warn in advance that lunch will last half an hour, after which a day’s sleep will come, 30 minutes will be allotted for dinner, after which you will need to go to sleep. Or, for example, say that take 15 minutes to clean the toys, and after that you can sit down.
And exactly follow the clock, so that the child has a sense of time!
Limit the time of watching TV
If the child spends a lot of time in front of the TV, this leads to overloading the nervous system. At 2-3 years old, the child can spend 15 minutes to watch cartoons. At the age of five, for example, a child can be spent in front of a TV for about an hour, it can be divided into 2-3 views. After six years-an hour and a half.
Hyperactive child is recommended to watch good old cartoons. For example, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Winnie the Pooh, mother for mammoth, Carlson, Prostokvashino and others.
2-3 hours before bedtime, a lull should come in the house
Before going to bed, it is better to protect the child from excessive sounds (on TV, radio, rhythmic music). Constant noise background also leads to overstrain of the nervous system. And from this, the child may not fall asleep or sleep badly throughout the night.
In the evening, arrange a child of energy
Ate a child in a soothing, relaxing foam. Or add a couple of drops of lavender essential oil to a spoon with salt (if there is no allergy) and lower it into a bath with water. Let the child spun 20 minutes.
protect the child from emotional overload
Excess impressions, even very pleasant, threatens with great unrest and experiences for a hyperactive child.
instruct him part of household chores
Ask the child to wash the dishes. It is unlikely that the child will refuse to play with water once again. Lay a waffle towel next to the sink, let the child put the washed dishes on it. Or give a wet rag to the Born – let it fight for your health with invisible aliens who settled on tables and shelves. Dress a wet rag on a mop – let it wipe the floors ��
Be sure to praise when he achieves success in classes requiring perseverance
Remember that a hyperactive child is the same as the rest of the children. It simply differs excessive emotions and energy. And the task for parents to help adapt to the world around.
