How To Treat Hyperactivity In A 4 Years 10 Months Old Child?
Hello Doctor. My son is 4 yr 10 months old. He is hyperactive from birth (with mild symptoms of ADHD). Now he is going to school. His hyperactivity is increasing and is becoming troublesome. He is just becoming aggressive if he is not provided what he wants. Can you suggest any solution? Do multivitamins help him.

Hi
Your best assets for helping your child meet the challenges of ADD/ADHD are your positive attitude and common sense. When you are calm and focused, you are more likely to be able to connect with your child, helping him or her to be calm and focused as well.
-Keep things in perspective.
-Don’t sweat the small stuff and be willing to make some compromises.
-Believe in your child. Think about or make a written list of everything that is positive, valuable, and unique about your child. Trust that your child can learn, change, mature, and succeed.
-Follow a routine
-Sign your child up for a sport, art class, or music. At home, organize simple activities that fill up your child’s time. These can be tasks like helping you cook, playing a board game with a sibling, or drawing a picture. Try not to over-rely on the television or computer/video games as time-fillers. Unfortunately, TV and video games are increasingly violent in nature and may only increase your child’s symptoms of ADD/ADHD. -plan your child’s schedule
