hello A child of 5 years is ought to be active,but if he is diagnosed hyperactive please take his therapies seriously,meet a good counselor who is experienced in child psychology,understand your child's needs and where his energy has to be channelized,as a parent your role is bigger than the child as he is too young. Before you come to a conclusion please understand and analyse is your child just too active or hyper active.because this is the time when children go out meet new people,make friends interact with their peer in school,start their basic formal education so their energy gets drained in in all this process but due to pandemic schools are closed hence children are stangnant in four walls so they might develop some behavioural issues,give immense time and energy to understand the child.

A child at ge age of 5yrs is full of energy and as he grows his interests and activities will widen.Whether he's hyperactive or not it's not possible to say without clinical assessment.Also would suggest that such terms should not be used as we start thinking the way we speak.

Hi, Recommend to monitor his behavior and day schedule. As the child grows, they become naughty and has some behavioral concerns. Given the pandemic situation, most of the time normal behavior is considered to be hyperactive and become a matter of concern.

He needs to be evaluated by clinical psychologist about severity of symptoms, frequency of symptoms, his positive and negative assets. At the same time parents perception, their parenting skills. If possible his teacher's opinions also. Based on assessment you will be advised accordingly.
