Now that our kids are all being home-schooled with online learning, you might become aware and notice signs of hyperactivity and brain imbalance. But how can you tell if your kiddos\u2019 behavior is normal or hyper? The line between an energetic, full-of-life boy and a hyperactive one is often blurry. Is it hard for the child to sit still? Can they focus and get down to work?<\/span><\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n With homeschooling, <\/span>it will be much easier to recognize if our children struggle with school. If it’s your first child, you might wonder if this behavior is \u201cnormal\u201d. Maybe this is your second or third child and you know that there is something different and hope they\u2019ll just grow out of it. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”3008″ style=”vc_box_shadow_border”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”3014″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”right” style=”vc_box_shadow_border” css=”.vc_custom_1601598290514{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n 2. Gut symptoms<\/span><\/strong> – Constipation, gas, pain, diarrhea, food sensitivity. The gut and the brain work hand in hand. Does your child get hyper after eating certain foods? Does he\/she crave certain foods like bread and gluten? <\/span><\/span>Allergies, food sensitivities, leaky gut, or just a mild form of one can dramatically change how your brain functions. Take notice of changes in behavior after having certain foods or drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Kids are naturally active and inquisitive, and some more so than others which is not a cause for concern. This can just be a normal part of your child\u2019s development or personality. Let\u2019s look at red flags that you should pay attention to : <\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”75px”][vc_single_image image=”3010″ style=”vc_box_shadow_border”][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_single_image image=”3009″ style=”vc_box_shadow_border”][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_single_image image=”3011″ style=”vc_box_shadow_border”][vc_separator][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n 3 Key things to look for possible underlying problems:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n 1. Coordination<\/span><\/strong> – Thinking and moving work hand in hand. This is especially true for younger kids. This is why recess is such an essential part of the school day for kids. Take a look at your child’s movement more closely. Are they having trouble with handwriting or other fine finger movements? Are they a little clumsy and bumping into things? These can be signs of the brain and the body are not communicating and working well together. Help them exercise their coordination with a balance disc, a trampoline, walking on lines in the streets, and core strengthening exercises.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_single_image image=”3012″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”right” style=”vc_box_shadow_border”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n 3. Pay attention to behaviors<\/span><\/strong> while taking your child’s age into account. Here are some key behaviors to notice:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Symptoms of inattention (aka attention deficit):<\/b> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsive behavior:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Start journaling the ones you notice and consult if they are regularly present. <\/span><\/p>\n In short, it can be really hard for a parent to tell whether a child\u2019s activity level or attention span is cause for concern. Because of that, we encourage parents to play it safe: If you have even a mild suspicion, make an appointment with your child\u2019s pediatrician or call the office to meet with Dr. Burton or Dr. Emma as we have a program specifically designed to correct the underlying causes of ADHD and other issues.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”3013″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n And if your child is able to control their impulses and emotions, pay attention, and respond appropriately during school time and during home life, they are probably just an energetic individual, and not affected by ADHD.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Now that our kids are all being home-schooled with online learning, you might become…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2982,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
