How can I help my child control their hyperactive behavior?

ADHD, Hyperactivity and reasonable control

If your ADHD child is hyperactive, one of the biggest challenges you face is keeping their behavior under reasonable control. "Reasonable control" doesn't mean sitting perfectly still. A child who is expected to sit perfectly still in a classroom, and manages to do so, focuses all of their efforts on remaining still, leaving little to focus on learning. See if you and the teacher can work out a reasonable compromise.
