My son Hyperactivity
Problems:
Briefly, my son seems hyperactive deh ... is the opinion of the teachers at the school (kindergarten B) who advised me to check my child to a psychiatrist or psychologist. Since I started school, my son Ryan did not want to dwell in the classroom. There are always things that captured, spilled, thrown to the floor. He ran around the classroom disturbing his friends who were studying. If persuaded or forbidden by his teacher, he would cry and throw a tantrum. His friends were afraid and reluctant to play with him, so he called a bad boy. I was overwhelmed to nurture at home. I think he will be more calm and learn to concentrate better in school. But in fact, until now there has been no progress was encouraging. Does my child really hyperactive? What are the characteristics of a hyperactive child and how the right to educate in order to reduce hyperactivity? Thanks for the reply.

Answer:
Miss Tina, be careful with the term hyperactive. Now there is a trend of parents too easily labeled hyperactive child, but not necessarily true. It may be that the child is an active child only with curiosity and exploration interests are great, but because he moves a lot and wanted to touch various objects around it then considered a hyperactive child. The term is usually applied against child hyperactivity with excessive physical movement or excessive, in the sense above normal or above average child his age in general. Objectively speaking, parents can recognize if their children classified as hyperactive or not, is to look at the amount / number and activity level of children. If the kids do activities ongoing, but if not fully realized by the children, and in contrast to other children the same age (the age group and same sex), parents can expect the possibility of hyperactivity in children. If you are in any doubt, do visit the school and observe it when he was in class and when he was playing with his friends. The opinion of a neutral third person can also add an objective assessment, so it's good to also ask a friend or friends help you to take the time to come with you to observe the child in school.
Important concept of hyperactivity is, that the condition is characterized by the presence of improper activity (Inappropriate) and directed (undirected). This is to distinguish children with hyperactive children who are very active, but aimed and productive behavior. Usually, the parents of hyperactive children often receive reports or complaints from teachers that the kids running around everywhere, do not be silent, and often do not complete tasks in class. However, you should know, too, that normal children aged 2 to 3 years it generally has a high level of physical activity, because age is the age where a child's curiosity is enormous, coupled with the physical ability and has achieved better motion so that the child can walk, run, reaching objects that interest him. Similarly, children who are very explorative and children who are intelligent, usually accompanied by a more active movement. Maturity and age often by itself reduce the level of activity the child, so the child's teen years could be quieter. However, there are other types of hyperactivity and concentration problems that persist to adulthood.
Importantly, first know exactly what causes hyperactivity children. Parents can check their child to a pediatrician or psychologist, where the child will undergo a series of psychological tests to determine his condition. Evaluation of the child should be obtained through a multidisciplinary approach to be more accurate, including the digging causes are neurological.
What can parents do?
§ Give praise for appropriate behavior. In young children, direct praise and rewards are usually effective. If the child can sit still, pay attention, and complete the task, saying: "oh great, Ryan was able to accomplish this task with caution." Or, "oh, so sweet you can sit down and finish your job."
Determine the daily goals and provide specific examples, such as: eat comfortably at the table. If the child managed to do it, praise him immediately. Giving examples and praise must be frequently repeated.
Create a clear structure in the home. Children must know clearly what is expected by parents. Without the need to be angry, you can say: "Ryan, do jumping jacks later drawing task is not finished." Or, "Come on Ryan, continue to draw it to completion."
Teach your child to relax. Say: "Ryan tired huh? Try calm and breathing deeply. Taking a break like this, you should look out the window. "
Prepare your child before doing anything. For example, before going to the mall, said: "later on there a lot of people and noisy. Ryan remained calm, yes, the same mother. "You could also say:" later on in the store do not carry items on display. So, Ryan Ryan's toys hold ya. "
Sometimes children have to sit and wait. He can do it while doing activities such as coloring pictures, connect the dots into a picture, or read an interesting new story. The key is to use a good strategy to prepare children to focus on one activity for a certain time so that in the long run it is familiar.
At home, distraction can be reduced by helping the child organize his room. Clear your desk of any other objects that could interfere with or attract attention. Place toys in a sealed box that is not constantly visible to the eye when he has to learn.
Siblings can serve as a model that can be emulated by children. But remember, do not compare children with a brother or sister better. Let the children observe and imitate themselves in a pleasant atmosphere without the need to say that "the brother / sister better than you."
Parents can also set an example by words such as "mama must finish this first, only then can break mama ..." or, "well .. work that is not yet completely finished, so mom would clean up first. "
To channel excess energy, provide a punching bag and a mattress in the house that was beaten by children at a time while exercising. For example, for 15 minutes while waiting for dinner, children can exercise by rolling around on the mat, or practicing boxing with my father. This is both useful for muscles, endurance and strength.
Encourage children to do chores at home that requires energy, such as sweeping, cleaning rooms, washing the car, arranging books, etc..
Listening to music for 15 minutes is one of the relaxation methods that can be recommended to children while resting on the sidelines of his work.
Discuss regularly with teachers at the school about the child's progress, so that parents can immediately find out if the child has been reduced hyperactivity.
If all the methods that are less effective parents, seek professional help to provide muscle relaxation therapy, exercise to cope with stress, and treatment with drugs or controlled with proper diet.
