Q. My child's hyperactivity spoils my Sunday. I want to know of any tips to make him more organized. My ADHD child is 7 years old. We are trying to manage is hyperactivity and its good that he has reduced in his symptoms. He was diagnosed at the age of four. Those days he was very hyperactive and jumping and running was very common. Though still talks very quickly and it’s so much quick that sometimes I cannot understand that what he says but my wife can understand what he wants to say and she follows his speed as well. But his hyperactivity spoils my Sunday. I want to know of any tips to make him more organized. Can someone give one?
A. It is good that his hyperactivity is improving. I can say that you can make a plan for Sunday and any holiday. Make such a plan which you can tell to him at early morning and can fulfill at evening. This plan will keep him waiting for the day and you can see some changes in his hyper to go low.
