11 yr. old child very hyperactive,fussy,can't sit still at home.?

Question

he is very stubborn, but quiet intelligent. he still behaves like a 6-7 yrs old child, i mean not behaves maturely according to his age.

Answer 1

You don't seem to actually be asking a question. Usually, when a child behaves this way, they may likely be ADHD, which is the more "technical" term for hyperactive. ADHD children often have trouble sitting still, concentrating on things for very long, finishing tasks, and do often seem to behave in a manner that does not seem age appropriate. Yes, they are often quite intelligent, but it is difficult to use their intelligence to their benefit. Thomas Edison was thought to have been ADHD. This can often affect their schoolwork, and sometimes their relationships with other people. It can be frustrating for not only the parent, but the child, as well. There are medications that are often prescribed for this, once the child has been taken to the doctor. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they do not. Many people have discovered that dietary changes can make a very big difference in the behavior and ability to concentrate, for a person with ADHD. There are also supplements that are said to help, and these help some, but not everyone. Here are some things you can do, if you would like to try to help your son without prescription medication:

Look up the following, online:

ADHD and food sensitivities

ADHD and candida

ADHD and leaky gut

Alcat test

Some books that can be very useful:

"Allergies and the Hyperactive Child", by Dr. Doris Rapp - online used booksites - incredibly useful book.

"Gut Solutions"

My son was also ADHD. I found that various foods affected him in very different ways. It helped me greatly, to understand how this worked. If you decide you would like to try to get your son tested for food sensitivities, scratch tests will not show anything, so it will not be of help. I have heard of Rast? tests (I think thas it the proper term), and also Alcat tests are used for food sensitivities and can be found online. Try to be patient with your son.

Answer 2

give him some cod liver oil! my cousin's kid was like this and a dose of cod liver oil everyday seemed to make her a little more emotionally even. also, reward behavior that is age appropriate and don't respond to 6-7 y.o. behaviors. give him responsibilities (which you may not do because of his behaviors) so you have something to praise (and critique so he can learn). think of him like a puppy in a way, he might just be bored and acting out....challenge him!

Answer 3

Play around with him often and be able to have comebacks if he says something to you, be nice and fun also.

Answer 4

Probably ADHD.

Answer 5

My son was the same so we enrolled him in football, hurling, karate, brass band and any other workshops that were seasonal ie. drumming with the local samba band, and making costumes for the samba festival.  This focussed his energy on positive activities. We also baked and cooked which he loved.  I tried to   focus on his good points and not always tell him he was bad/ bold.
