Stop ADHD Behavior - Looking At New Strategies To Help Your Child Grow Up With More Self Control

Very often there is a biological explanation for the hyperactivity, restlessness and impulsivity in ADHD children. When looking at ways to stop ADHD behavior which was dangerous, researchers recently came up with some interesting insights on the startle reflex or the Moro reflex as it is sometimes called.

How is your startle reflex? If you are like me, you may jump out of your chair if someone walks up to you unexpectedly. I am therefore suffering from a high startle reflex. This is an inbuilt defence mechanism we have to protect us in time of danger. A baby will have it the moment he is born when he throws his arms in the air. It is a good sign and shows that his nervous system is working well.

If this reflex is not adjusted with time, it may cause an excess of adrenaline and this can lead to hyperactivity. This is why it is sometimes mentioned in the literature on how to stop ADHD behavior because in a recent poll on an ADHD forum, over 70% of members reported that they did indeed have a high startle reflex. With children who have ADHD and autism, this may also mean an exaggerated reaction and also clumsiness and even falling down. There are ways of reducing this rather startled reaction which I will mention below.

In a really interesting book called The Out Of Sync Child Has Fun the author Carol Stock Kranowitz outlines games and activities designed to help children with a high startle reflex and other sensory processing disorders.

One of these exercises is one which uses an exercise ball. This is designed to help to integrate the moro reflex which should over time gradually decline and lead to less hyperactivity and a better sensory integration system overall. One of the simplest exercises to stop ADHD behavior which is really over the top when the child is jumping off the walls, is the following.

The child can roll forward on the ball, then uses his hands to break his fall, looks up and says 'Good morning'. Then he can roll back and hug the ball and say 'Good night'. There are a whole series of exercises and games which can help the ADHD child.

Apart from these physical exercises and games which can all help to stop ADHD behavior, there are other ways to consider. One of these of course is to make sure that there is some kind of medication to keep the child relatively calm.

One of the best and safest ones I know is an ADHD homeopathic remedy which can soothe the nervous system and help the child restore his lost mind body balance. There are no risks and of course no long term health issues either which is a great relief for many parents.

Why not check this out? The costs are low, the risks are nil and the effects are noticeable within a short time. This could be the answer you were looking for.

Why not give YOUR child a better chance in life? Discover the facts about a more natural and safer approach to stop ADHD behavior. Experts now tell us that child behavior modification combined with a natural treatment for ADHD is by far the most effective ADHD treatment.
