I Need Help For My 4-Year-Old Son by PurestBoy(m): 9:18pm On Apr 13, 2018 |
I have 2 boys, Kevin and Alvin, 4 and 1yr old respectively, both were on 6-month exclusive breastfeeding, Had Cow&Gate2 baby formula, Kevin is just too active, he doesn't doesn't even walk at home, he runs even when I take him out (cos he doesn't even play in the compound), he can't stay in a place for 2 minutes except he's watching his favorite cartoon channel GoTv 60, no matter how you beat him he doesn't cry for more than few seconds, he learns too much that he even corrects me his father but the problem is he's too active (I don't want to use the word stubborn). His 11+ mths younger brother is already following his footsteps, their mother shouts and beats Kevin every minute for jumping around in the house like monkey. He even engages in fight with me whenever I want to watch my favorite channels except I beat him thoroughly, he wouldn't allow anyone touch anything that is his. Their mother is fed up and losing weight and she's afraid his Alvin is already acting likewise. I don't know what to do because you can't leave Kevin alone in the house without closed monitoring for a minute else something bad and injurious might happen. All my life, I've never see a kid like my boy, I need advise on what to do, it was worse when he was younger. I don't like beating him like his Mom does but won't have peace at home due to excessive shouting and scolding except he's asleep. Anyone with ideas on how to curtail this? 34 Likes 3 Shares |

Let me think of a solution from experience... I am the last born out of seven children(now adults) I have 7 nephews and 5 nieces I will make further consultations and get back to you. In the meantime,read the Auto biography of Angel de Maria, Argentina/PSG superstar;his childhood/toddler story is really similar to that of your son Kelvin. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

I'm not seeing any issue here, most children that age are naturally defiant. It's just a phase and he will grow out of it. You can consult a child therapist and have him checked for ADHD (Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder), where are you based please? May God be with your family 86 Likes 2 Shares |

Your child might be displaying one of the autistic spectrum which is being hyperactive. I am talking from experience and if care is not taken the younger one will toll his path. Get a therapist to access him as soon as possible. God bless our children. 58 Likes 1 Share |

PurestBoy: Thanks. I suggest you go to UCH and check if they have a consultant child therapist. If they don't, they should be able to refer you to one. In the meantime, reduce his sugar intake to the barest minimum. Sugars can make children extra hyper 124 Likes 1 Share |

![]() Technically, Children were babies, Babies were foetuses, Foetuses are a result of the fastest sperm. I think your son still thinks he is a sperm, that's why he is overly hyperactive. But this is certainly not a case of hyperkinetic disorder. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperkinetic_disorder With age his personality will metamorphose. I just pray it's not to something darker because he is already fighting you now. Well, like they say "boys will always be boys". Get used to it man and grab yourself a Budweiser. 47 Likes 1 Share |

Na wah My neighbours son is like that, I dey fear the boy pass SARS, I have to sneak in and out of their house to avoid him. He'll jump on my head, climb on the dining table, beat his elder sister up and many more. The hyperactivity will wear off as he grows older, be strong and endure. Peace ![]() 91 Likes 3 Shares |

Your son probably has ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). I'll advise you take him to a psychiatrist. ADHD is fairly common especially among males and can be best managed using CBT, family therapy or the use of Ritalin. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Is good you are in Ibadan, take him to special education department in U.I for diagnosis. For the main time engage him in activities that will make him get tired and sleep. Think of something he can use his energy to do.you can tell him to repeat the activity until he is tired. All the best 13 Likes 1 Share |

From the attributes you have described so far, it is a very long shot away from clinical Hyperactivity syndrome. It is nearer however to him just acting his age. However, all these are just surface observations based on your report. Your best bet to putting a tag on what his state is, will be to have him evaluated by a pediatrician, who is a specialist in childhood neurology. A positive takeaway here is that your boy is intelligent. With all you have described about him so far, l can see a boy who was like me when l was his age. Boy, l was stubborn. Lols. Would love to meet him someday. Cheers bro. 22 Likes 1 Share |

Being Hyperactive is normal with kids especially boys. Reduce the sugar intake. Not too much sweets, drinks, etc |

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. Bruvvvvv. The bible wasn't joking with this advice man. Most kids have the tendency to become like that. Every child is an intending brat. Except the one way Ilah(God) send to earth to be prophet from birth. All thanks to my maalee. I been think say dem adopt me before the way she flog me. But if you see me now, i over normally calm. Me wey dey follow my lesson teacher fight!. I gentle bruv. No go follow that line of say flogging na "Child ABuse" FUc all that English classification of ADHD. All that ish is bunkum. It's the way the devil creates funny name to hide its sinister devises.
