Share RSS Email Give your toddler lots of opportunities to burn that energy. If you have a toddler who's always on the go go go, you know how hard it is to find the off switch. Being "hyper" can be a natural part of being a toddler, or it can indicate an underlying problem, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, known as ADHD. Talk to your pediatrician if you feel your toddler's excitability is interfering with his ability to learn or listen. Otherwise, a combination of calming and tiring activities can help your wound-up kid wind down. Sponsored Link JetAirways™ Official SiteJetairways.com/Book_Online_Now Flights To & From India. Best Fares Quick & Simple Bookings. Book now ! Step 1 Find an outlet for your toddler's energy. Enroll him in soccer or dance lessons. Get him a small bike and take him out to ride through the local park. Get a high-energy dog so they can play together in the yard. If you have planned periods of time where your toddler can run and use his energy, he might not be so hyper by the time you are home together. Step 2 Set up a "quiet corner" for your toddler. This could be a beanbag chair or a mat in a corner of his bedroom. Then add a chest or box full of activities that require him to sit still, such as coloring books, electronic learning games, building blocks or picture books. When your child gets too hyper, ask him to spend some time in his "quiet corner." Don't make that feel like a punishment. Instead, emphasize the fun of the quiet activities so your child can learn to enjoy them. Step 3 Remove your toddler from a situation if you think it's making the problem worse. Take him to the side and ask him softly to slow down. If he's unable to calm himself, it might be time to leave. Sometimes all it takes for a hyper child to chill is changing the environment. Step 4 Try calming activities. Yoga, massage or breathing techniques might not sound like things a toddler would enjoy, but they're worth a shot. Search for trained professionals who work with toddlers. They should be able to give you tips on how to incorporate these activities into your daily routine, either by practicing at home or attending classes or sessions.
