hyper like on speed

[earnestfamily7]

any suggestions on how to stop the speed like behavior when it occurs? It seems like once he starts he (DS9)doesnt stop running like my house is a racetrack... then of course the 2yo and 5yo think this a fun so it just creates more hyper activity in my DS... I ahve tried holding him for a minute... redirecting... I cant get anything to work... thanks in advance

Hello

 

We had a lot of motor hyperactivity with our 1st episode. I would physically stop her and redirect her to the tv.. not what you'd normally do but it was the only thing that would get her attention. Longer I let her race round, the more hyper she'd get. We watched a lot of tv for a while there....

thanks - now that you mention it the tv does keep his attention - he is 9 and I can put on his brothers baby einstein shows and he will watch... it doesnt matter the show... I will definately try this.... tv is better than the speeding behavior as I agree it just gets worse the longer he goes....

thanks...

Have you tried motrin/advil? Within 30 minutes it usually has a drastic effect on my son. TV doesn't work for him - when he gets like that he can't sit much less stand still.
