hyperactivity in 3 year old?

[gina84uk]

hi my ds is 3 but since he was 7 mth he has always been on the go never been afraid of anything when he was 2 he climbed my garden fence out the back it is 6ft and went over to the next garden,he never listens to me never sit's for more than a few minuites
lack of eatting, there is so much more that he does i have always thought since he was 1 that he maybe hyperactive now he started nursery in jan and the teacher has cut his time down by an hour cause he fights and does not follow rules.i know it is wrong but i gave him cola daily and i have stoped before and he seemed calmer i have stoped again this is second day and i really see a big difference he isn't buzzing as much
just really looking for mums that has hyperactive kids for some advice on what they think
soz for going on a bit x

Cola contains caffeine (as do tea, coffee and some other soft drinks.) Caffeine is a stimulant which may, as you have observed, make your child hyperactive. As you have also observed, stopping giving your child caffeine, calms him down.

I think your next course of action is clear?

Children of this age are very active, that is normal. My dd1 started crawling at 6 months and has barely stopped moving ever since. My ds is also the same, another early mover and climber, adventurous and into everything. We keep them very active - plenty of long walks, swimming, dancing, cycling, and a strict bedtime so they don't get over tired.

I never ever give them cola, as it would make most children hyper in behaviour.
