Hello practo user
I can understand the concern you are currently facing regarding your child .Children at this young age tend to be curious of their surroundings and like exploring things and activities . The above mentioned symptoms could be indicative of hyperactivity disorder . You can try and take him to the park as exerting extra energy on physical activities is helpful . You can also try and reduce the sugar intake if it is on the higher side . The symptoms are manageable . It is advisable that you seek help from a clinical psychologist who can evaluate the child and teach you coping strategies as well . You can also get in touch with me through the practo app for any further help or guidance
