To overcome childhood hyperactivity, patience and understanding from both parents and teachers are essential. Parents should provide a stable and loving family environment to reduce the child's stress and anxiety. Teachers should adopt individualized teaching methods to help the child focus attention. At the same time, medication is also an important adjunctive treatment, but must be conducted under a doctor's supervision. Additionally, behavioral therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and family therapy can also help improve the child's hyperactive symptoms. Reasonably scheduling the child's daily activities, such as exercise, drawing, and music, can also help expend excess energy and improve self-control. Most importantly, parents, teachers, and doctors should work closely together to develop an individualized treatment plan to help the child overcome hyperactivity.
