What should i do about my five year old?
Answer:
Please don't put your child on medication. Your child is a very spiritual kid. I don't know if you believe in angels, but it sounds like she can communicate with angels. Your child is gifted with a higher consciousness. In spiritual terms, Your child can be what we call the Indigo or the Crystal child. Drugs are very bad for the children. Please read the article on this website ,http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/ri... . I remember reading somewhere else that said about putting the child on a certain diet will help them to be able to focus. Please search the internet for natural remedies. There are other ways to help your child without drugging them.
ridelin or beat her. If you don't beat her the kids at school will.
It is ALWAYS your decision whether or not your child goes on medication. Honestly, I think she may just be a five year old going through a stage. There may be other things happening, but know that it is your choice whether or not she goes on medication. If you are thinking about medication, make sure you research the side effects first.
I would avoid putting your 5-year-old on medication at all costs! There's got to be a better answer, and you are right to fear putting her on medication at such a young age.
My son was so hyper at that age that I held him back one
year from kidnergarten (he had a May birthday.) I think your
child will settle down in a year or so, just like mine did.
The talking to themselves is normal at that age. The boys
make truck noises, etc. when playing; I wouldn't worry about it.
yes by all means let them drug up your daughter, geez she is 5 and has a imagination big deal. She will settle down.
Before they stick her on meds they should have you take home papers to fill them out and if she is in school you will have to get those filled out also by the teacher. I thought they were gonna stick my 7 year old on meds but they insisted it was not necessary, that she is just being a normal 7 year old but they did have me cut alot of the sugars and stuff from her diet. And the talking to the people that are not there they are probably imaginary friends, my daughter still has them (they play with her better then her sister) Good Luck
Maybe she has ADD or ADHD. The doctor will tell you what is going on. In the meantime, dont worry.
I wouldn't put her on medication, she's a kid, kids act weird, I'm sure its just a phase she will grow out of.
you may want to check you child's diet. I'm not going all nutrition freaky on you, but there are certain things your child may be eating/drinking that triggers this behavior.
I also think that this is age appropriate (or, rather, as one answerer commented) this is something that will pass in time, as your child grows up and matures.
at any rate,
good luck at the doctors visit. is there some way to post the results?
Sounds as if she might have ADD or ADHD...I wouldnt be so quick as to medicate her...there are other things your Dr might suggest. Could be she is just a normal, imaginative child with LOTS of energy!
What is it with drugging up kids as soon as the are a little different or not perfect. She is only five. She will probably out grow it. Give her time.
As far as the concentration thing, sounds like ADD to me. But I am not a Dr. 5 yr olds have limited concentration, so many things going on at one. So it may not be ADD. I would ask you Dr. or ask a teacher he has. They would be able to tell you too, if he is in school . As far as the imaginary people, thats good. he is using his imagination to create friends. That is normal. They will not put her on meds with out finding out t he problem first. Also maybe see what amount of sugar intake is going on. That may be the problem too. Start a better diet. Good luck
Get active. My son is a very active child. I will not say he is hyper. He is inquisitive and gets into everything if he is not constantly watched. When it gets particularly hard for him to focus for long periods of time, I take him outside to play with the ball. Either we play baby soccer or we throw the ball all over the field and chase it. This helps him to work out his wiggles and to sit still for longer time periods. On days when the weather is bad, I find that he has begun to do his own form of exercise by running laps around the living room. Since our living room is free of furniture in the middle of the floor and carpeted, I allow him to run as much as he feels he needs to. Afterwards, I sit with him to do flashcards, alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, or whatever we are working on at that particular time.
Just remember this its normal i have a 5 year old daughter and you dont want them to put her on meds this will give her a complex and know this that a child can only sit still for the number of there age so if she is 5 max is 5 min she can sit still and concentrate let her be a kid relax girls are drama queens about everything my daughter says she talks to walls its normal k so dont freak out and think she is crazy ask her who she talks to get on her level investigate but dont be angry or mad but be a friend to her and you'll find alot out.
I have four children, including a 4 1\2 year old daughter. She is a spazz! She jumps on the couch, talks to invisible people, and never sleeps. She wakes up at 8 in the mourning and doesn't go to sleep until 10 or 11 at night. I think it's normal and your right they will want to put on pills, they want to put my daughter on Ritalin. I said no.
