Baby Motors
"And to whom is he?" - you think, boiling inside. There are three possible options - either in you, or in the Pope, or in yourself. According to statistics, 57% of parents of hyperactive kids in childhood also had signs of this behavior. Scientists believe that the predisposition to it is programmed by genes located in the 5th and 11th chromosomes. They regulate the transmission of the nerve impulse in the cerebral cortex with the help of special substances - dopamine and serotonin. Failures in the operation of these systems lead to violations of behavior and attention. Little of! It is noticed that pathologically restless babies are born more often in women suffering from bronchial asthma, pollinosis (reaction to pollen), atopic dermatitis (neurodermatitis) or migraine. All these diseases are also associated with an imbalance of those same serotonin and dopamine. This imbalance can be caused not only by hereditary causes, but also by unfavorable factors acting on the central nervous system of the future baby in the period of intrauterine development. In the role of such factors are often influenza viruses, oxygen starvation (hypoxia), toxicosis, rhesus-conflict, birth trauma, exacerbation of chronic diseases in a future mother. They lead to the formation in the infant of a syndrome of increased nervous reflex excitability. Closer to a year it develops into a minimal brain dysfunction (MMD) with a syndrome of hyperactivity - a borderline between health and illness. In which direction the scale will swing, depends largely on the parents!
It is better to be convinced
An incorrect diagnosis delivered to your baby can exacerbate existing problems. How to recognize the syndrome of hyperactivity without confusion with mobility, curiosity and complex character? The main sign of the disease is the child's complete inability to assess the consequences of his actions. Therefore, children with the syndrome of hyperactivity, act without a moment thinking about their behavior, not drawing parallels with a possible future. Another unpleasant symptom of the syndrome of hyperactivity is the child's desire to damage or destroy someone else's property and the absolute impossibility of this desire to control. In the "risk zone" of the syndrome of hyperactivity, the majority are boys. This disorder occurs in them even more often than in girls.
Calm down on a fidget!
Do not scold the hyperactive baby! He can not be punished and pulled back by shouting and slapping. But also to start up its behavior is not worth it either. The optimal line of behavior that neurologists are advised to adhere to in this case is calm patience and the so-called "gentle severity." Do not back off from the regime of the day. To defeat the state of chaos in which your child resides, you need to streamline his life. Set aside a constant time for going to bed and waking up, eating, playing games, walking and practicing and do not step back from the schedule, no matter what happens! Do not require an immediate reaction. Warn the kid beforehand that it's time to eat, swim or go to bed. Say that time is running out, and then remind again or two. A hyperactive kid can not immediately interrupt his studies, switching to a new task. Please note: any requests must be repeated ten times. Do not get irritated - it's not his fault, just be patient.
Filter your impressions
Their excess is the load for the baby. To completely deprive him of entertainment is not worth it, you just need to remove the child from the guests or the circus in time - before, having become overexcited, he will start to "leave the banks". Then your son or daughter will have pleasant memories of appearing in public.
Switch and distract
If the baby enters the rage, is about to become uncontrollable, press it to yourself and whisper something rhythmic, calming in your ear: "Quietly, quietly ... Quietly, wait, my good, listen, I'm you I'll tell you ... You know what we're going to do right now? We're going to go into the room with you now, take a book, read a book on this page, read it ... "The repetition of the same words sets a calming rhythm, and the touch relaxes the child - this is the so-called "mamatherapy".
Try to interest
Try different forms of learning, bring in it a creative moment, otherwise your child will not be able to learn the information. It is very important that the environment does not distract him from the lessons. Put the table not at the window, but at the wall. Do not hang anything on it, otherwise, catching a glance, the child will be distracted from the task. On the table, you can not leave unnecessary items - only the necessary baby at the moment! Eliminate extraneous sources of noise.
Avoid everything that excites
TV and computer significantly deplete the children's nervous system, intensifying manifestations of hyperactivity. Similarly, the child can be rearranged in the child's bedroom. Avoid sudden changes - a hyperactive baby they will not benefit.
Herbs and notes will help
To grow a hyperactive baby is recommended to the sounds of Mozart, according to children's psychologists, his music acts on fidgets better than any valerian! Homeopathic preparations are useful, children's phyto-tea with mint, motherwort, St. John's wort, lavender, fennel. And you can fill one of these plants with a linen pad and put it at the head of the child - this unobtrusive aromatherapy will help normalize sleep. Calm neposideu will help and a special herbal diet from the root of valerian (or grass motherwort), mint and sage. Pour 1 teaspoonful each. spoon each herb in a thermos, brew 2 cups of boiling water, insist half an hour, cool and strain. Give the baby up to 6 years of age for 1 tea. spoon, the younger schoolchild - 2, the pupil of middle classes - 3, and the senior pupil - 4 teas. spoons 2-3 times a day in between meals.
