Few children always seem to be in motion, they can't sit still, they squirm in their seat or roam around the room or they might shake their feet or noisily tap their pencil.
Children who are overly impulsive seem unable to curb their immediate reactions or think before they act. As a result, they may blurt out inappropriate comments. Or they may run into the street without looking. They may grab a toy from another child, or hit out when they're upset.
When these kind of traits develop in kids we get worried, sometimes even get embarrassed because of their behavior, actually here we don't really need to feel so, we need to find out the reason behind their behavior and this will help us in managing them effectively.
While bringing up our kid we need to be patient and calm. If we overreact to any situation like their illness, problems, crying, misbehavior we give them the signal that this is the effective way of handling crisis and they start practicing hyperactivity in day to day life crisis. Too much exposure to television can also lead to hyperactivity. Children find brightness and frequent scene change in T.V. so interesting that they start considering real life boring. Some times we fail to give them appropriate attention and care that leads to hyperactivity. If we admire, appreciate or simply interact with the child while he is playing silently without disturbing anyone, the child will never feel the need to misbehave. Always remember their world starts from us and end at us only. They do anything to get our love and attention and also they get disappointed easily. never ever forget to convey your message of love and admiration to your kid. It is not sufficient to love and care for your child but it is also very important to make them aware of you love. Keep telling them that you love him/her, care for them, how much you admire them for their good behavior. Make your child aware that your love for him is unconditional and you will keep loving whatever he do. Your child should be aware of your expectations from him. If we take care of these simple steps while bringing up our child and enjoy this phase of our life rather than taking it as a burden we will find it very easy to maintain our child.
