How to determine whether your child is an active child or your child is hyperactive? It is such a child who constantly moves, throws something, grabs, jumps, runs, it can not be laid to sleep, he can not concentrate on anything. He starts playing and after a few minutes he has lost interest. He is uncontrollable, for him there are no rules of communication, behavior, there are no prohibitions. Such a child is active everywhere. But you can see in it good sides.
These children can develop creative abilities, whether it's sculpting, drawing. They have intellectual abilities higher than other children, but their bad behavior does not allow teachers, educators, parents to see talents in it. We will give some advice to the parents of a hyperactive child.
Tips for parents on the education of a hyperactive child
- Often praise the child. Adhere to such a rule, if once scolded, then seven times praise.
- If you are with him, then try to bring the lesson to the end. Even if you break such an occupation into several parts. For example, you began to paint the picture with him, but the child lost interest, so return to this lesson later.
- Engage with the child regularly every day for 10 minutes, or every other day. Conduct classes in a relaxed atmosphere and in a playful form.
- Do your homework with your baby. Let him pick up in the room, collect toys, put things together and so on. The main thing is that you will do everything together with him.
- More often say that you love him, listen to him, hug. These children have a low self-esteem. Evaluate his deed, do not say that he is a bad child, but just sort out his deed.
- Make up the routine of the day and stick to it. This is not an easy task for both you and your baby. Both to the child, and to parents it will be from it only it is better. He will remember the sequence of all actions, he will have less whims. Scheduling the time of food, classes, walks, you will do a favor to your neposide.
- Direct prohibitions do not help here. Need to say what you want to get as a result. You can say that there is a big mess in the room. And we can say that today it is the child's turn to clean up the room. In this way, parents focus on what they want from the child and what the child should know.
- Try to use as little as possible the particle "not" in your speech. If the child is fighting, then focus on what you expected from him. For example, you want him to play with his younger brother or play with other children. Talk about this to the child.
- Take in the help of a neurologist and a psychologist, the earlier you do, the more benefit this will give your child and you. Learn the psychology of communication. There are some procedures that reduce nervousness, for example, the adoption of salt baths, electrosleep.
- Communicating with the child, sit down to be with him on the same level. Eye contact. Or use other gestures of disposition - an intermittent touch, putting your hand to your chest. These gestures act on the subconscious.
- Rejoice in the success of the child.
- Computer games and TV watching contribute to the manifestations of hyperactivity, they drain the child's nervous system. Avoid sudden changes in order not to provoke the baby. To inhibit the excitement will help lavender, fennel, St. John's wort, mint, motherwort.
- Be consistent and if for some reason you forbade the child to watch cartoons, then do not change your decision.
- It's good, if your child will visit the circles, where the parents and the child work together. This helps the child to learn the material and brings the baby and parents closer.
- No matter how trite it is, you have to read books to children. Reading must be taught from an early age. Read fairy tales, learn poteshki, for each action teach small rhymes. Before going to bed in the evenings, start reading books for 10 minutes. Even if the child can read, do not forget about this activity.
We hope that these recommendations to the parents of a hyperactive child will help in his upbringing. We wish you success!
