Mar 23 Fidgeting Tip- ADHD Kids Cannot Control Fidgeting

Children With ADHD
 Really Cannot Control Their Fidgeting

Hyperactive children are unable to inhibit the impulse to move around; it is not because they do not want to it is because they cannot.


Giving punishments or promising rewards are counterproductive because the squirming and fidgeting are all part of the life of your child with ADHD.

It is a futile effort on the part of parents and teachers to get these children to sit still and focus. The same applies to home activities, like homework or sitting at the dinner table. When kids with ADHD are past their point of controlling their urge to move around-LET THEM MOVE!

The adults dealing with a hyperactive child must help make the most of his or her strengths and overcome the challenges. Parents must seek professional help and work with the Educational system  to plan strategies that will allow this on-the-go child to reach his potential.
