Well it is always a very good idea to keep in mind that some children only have a lot of energy and are not necessarily hyperactive. I have seen many parents medicating their kids thinking they are hyperactive when they are just normal healthy children...some parents simply do not have the patience or the time to deal with their kids. Well, if that is not your case and if you had your children evaluated by a doctor or team of health professionals and got the real diagnosis that they are indeed hyperactive then you should involve your children in guided activities, make sure they burn as much energy as possible. Keeping them motivated and focused in certain activities so they channel their energy is the best idea. Not leaving them on their own is essential.
