As difficult as it can be to be with a hyperactive child, it is essential that you know and understand what he is going through as well as how you can help him stay calm. A parent may have to talk to a hyperactive child about their behavior several times an hour, without success. Several factors cause a child's hyperactivity, such as emotional or relationship problems, diet, and other environmental factors. Focusing on addressing these factors can lead to a more controlled and calm child. There are many tips to help parents calm their hyperactive child. These quick tips produce incredible results in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Create a relaxing atmosphere. Hyperactive children react to their environment and a messy home could trigger their hyperactivity. Try to keep your home as calm and relaxing as possible. Avoid yelling or arguing as this may make them more agitated. You can start by keeping your house tidy and asking your older siblings to help keep the younger ones calm. You can dim the light in the evening for a more peaceful effect. Scented candles can also help create a calm and serene atmosphere. A nice warm bubble bath A nice warm, soothing bubble is also effective in calming hyperactive children. You can add scents like vanilla and lavender which also have a calming effect. If your child doesn't seem interested in taking a bath, you can coax him by offering bath toys and activities that might interest him.

Diet Certain foods can affect your child's behavior, so it is essential that you know which foods to avoid and which foods are best for your child. Try replacing processed foods with natural foods, as food additives, colors as well as artificial sweeteners found in processed foods are known to make the nervous system hyperactive. Try to choose calming foods, such as vegetables, nuts and seeds that contain calcium and magnesium. You can also incorporate foods such as low-fat yogurt, low-fat cheese, whole grain crackers, and healthy cereals into your child's diet. To satisfy their sweet tooth, you can consider fruits like berries, peaches and oranges. You can also give them dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate because it is healthier and decreases cortisol levels that trigger anxiety and nervousness..
