Children with hyperactivity often struggle with playing quietly. They may have loud outbursts during playtime or find it challenging to engage in activities that require a calm demeanor. This behavior can be frustrating for parents and caregivers who may find it difficult to manage the noise levels or direct the child's focus to quieter activities. However, this sign is a clear indicator of the child's need for stimulation and engagement. To effectively manage this behavior, it's important to provide structured play that allows for both active and quiet periods. Introducing games that require concentration, like puzzles or building blocks, can help train the child to enjoy quieter activities. Additionally, setting clear expectations and boundaries around noise levels and play can aid in teaching self-regulation. It's also beneficial to involve the child in creating a balanced play schedule, incorporating their interests to ensure they are engaged and motivated to participate in quieter activities.
