Question
My baby is two years old and very active every day, not sitting still at all. He only takes a short nap of 1 to 2 hours. He also goes to bed late at night, usually after 10:30 PM. This makes me worry if he has hyperactivity. What should I do? I want to know how to correctly view hyperactivity and what kind of help we can get.
Answer
Based on your description, your child is very normal. As the saying goes, “Active children are never idle, and lazy children never play.” Two-year-olds are full of curiosity about the world, so they show a lot of vitality, which may make you feel tired. I suggest you interact more with your child, participate in their games; this will be a very happy time for you. Regarding hyperactivity, you should already have some understanding. When facing a disease, we should actively treat it and not be afraid to seek medical attention. If the disease does not improve for a long time, consider changing the treatment plan.
