Hyperactivity In Children - How To Give Them the Best Possible Chance in Life
If hyperactivity in children is not treated, there is a very strong likelihood that they will carry it into adulthood and that is no joke. It is now estimated that the numbers of people with adult ADHD are about one and a half million!
It is also calculated that as many as a third of all ADHD children will have one parent or close relative who also has ADHD. There seems to be a strong hereditary link although the main cause is probably a biological one.
How do we give them the best possible chance in life? First we have to make sure that we have an action plan in place and that we are not relying totally on the conventional psychostimulants that will teach the child nothing about behavior, social skills, managing his routine, studying, doing homework and so on.
Ritalin, Concerta or Adderall may however be quite effective in reducing the classic ADHD symptoms of restlessness, endless chatter, constant motion and all the other aspects of hyperactivity in children which can drive a parent mad! But these meds are not nearly enough to give them the best possible chance in life, especially when their effects will more than likely wear off after about three years.
Apart from the medication and the behavioral aspects, we can deal with hyperactivity among children by following the example set by The University of Illinois. They initiated a study which showed that hyperactivity was much less evident in children who were allowed to play outside than those children who had been dragged through a shopping mall!
The kids who had been outside were doing better on impulse scores, had a better attention span and were less restless. There is a lesson there for all of us. The best way to deal with hyperactivity in children is to make sure that they are getting their green time with built in sports activities.
Choosing an alternative to psychostimulants is very important too and that is one of the best ways we can really give these kids a better chance. By selecting a homeopathic remedy for example, we are ensuring that there are no side effects to worry about. That means a full night's sleep and a hearty appetite. Symptoms will be reduced just as efficiently and there will be no worries about addiction, dependence or any of the other horrible trauma associated with the medicines.
So, these are some of the ways we have of dealing with hyperactivity in children. I have prepared a website which will explain about homeopathic cures and which will shorten your learning curve considerably. Why not do yourself and myself a favor by checking it out?
