HYPERACTIVE CHILDREN


As we all know hyperactive is often a symptom of another underlying cause such as varying method diseases and medical says  one of the main disorders associated with hyperactivity is “ Attention Deficit Hyper Activity Disorder” that is ADHD.
Kids with ADHD often require a slight different approach to discipline. They have trouble sitting still, completing tasks, managing impulses and following directions. A few simple changes in our parenting strategies give your child the tools he/ she needs to manage his behavior more effectively.
PROVIDING POSITIVE ATTENTION:
Providing a child with ADHD positive attention is a good investment. Positive play time reduces attention – seeking behavior. And it will make your consequences more effective. No matter how difficult your child’s behavior has been set aside one on one time with your child every day. Giving your child just 15 minutes of positive attention is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to reduce behavior problems.
GIVE THEM EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONS:
Quite often they don’t feel the instructions correctly in the first place. There are several things you can do to make your instructions more effective. Turn off the television, establish eye contact and place a hand on your child’s shoulder before giving them instructions. Give one instruction at a time. And ask your child to repeat back to you what he heard to make sure he fully understands. Don’t give them chain commands that will make to feel bore and instead doing the task they may skip it.
PRAISE AND ESTABLISH A REWARD SYSTEM FOR THEIR EFFORT:
Make your praise specific. Instead of saying nice job say great job. Give little gifts which make them to feel that they are much special to you than others. Children with ADHD often get bored with traditional reward systems that require them to wait too long to earn a reward. Create a token economy system that helps your child to earn tokens throughout the day. Then allow tokens to be exchanged for bigger rewards.
IGNORE MILD MISBEHAVIOURS:
GIVING THEM ATTENTION, even when it’s negative, encourages those behaviors to continue. Ignore whinning, complaining, loud noises and attempts to interrupt you and eventually your child will stop.
