Children are naturally curious and have what may seem as limitless amounts of energy. They will bounce from one activity to another. It’s a blessing to be a mother and there is nothing amazing like playing and interacting with our children. I consider myself an active mom but I must admit there are times my 4-year-old son gets too much. It can even get crazier if you have a deadline to beat.
It can be quite a challenge to keep the child engaged but we have some tips that you can use to handle them by engaging their body and mind.
- Channelize their energy: Find ways to vent their energy and calm their minds. Children need to run around and play a lot. Letting them play outside will help vent their energy. You can also get your child an activity box to help them engage meaningfully and focus on play-based activities. This will help boost their memory skills and concentration.
- Talk to your child in a simple manner: Give them your complete attention and lend an ear to their concerns, interests, and apprehensions. Also get them to make to-do lists and break down the instructions given to them.
- Help them deal with their feelings: Children with hyperactivity find it difficult to handle anger, sadness, and worry. Help them to deal with their feelings and tell them what is good and what is bad.
- Make them relax: Reward them for good manners, listening to you, sticking to a routine, encourage them to establish order, and let them know what is expected of him/her. The best way to deal with a hyperactive kid is to engage his mind and body and channelize their energy.
- Behavior Therapy: Minimize distractions and screen time. Take them out to green surroundings. Just be patient, take a deep breath, be determined to calm him/her, and put his/her high energy levels to good use.
Most importantly don’t forget to discuss all these tips and tricks with your Nanny or Domestic Manager. They stay with our children most of the time and they should know this.
Our children are the most important people in our lives and we should give them the best care. Always get a professional Nanny or a Domestic Manager who understand your needs and the need of your child.
