My daughter who is now 6 seems really hyper now that she has returned to school. I don't think it's just excitement.

 

Have other parents been finding this?

 

And she hasn't been gaining much weight--she looks like a string bean!

Hi Randy,

 

It might be worth talking to your daughter's teacher, or any other people who spend time with her (coaches, friends, relatives...) to see if they have noticed her being more hyper than usual when in those environments. Has her performance in school changed from last year?

 

Are there any particular times of the day she seems more hyper? Right before bed, after meals, after waking from a nap, after having snacks, swimming, playing in the yard...?

 

:lol:

Make certain that she is eating well. Her pediatrician might prescribe a medication that can improve her appetite like periactin . A nutritional evaluation might help to determine a hidden cause of the problem like hypoglycemia or a zinc deficiency.
