A game that develops volitional regulation (control) skills in hyperactive children

This game gives the child the opportunity, as a reward for the exerted volitional efforts, to relieve the accumulated tension in the way he likes, and the adult — to control his behavior and sometimes get such a desired “hour of silence” when communicating with hyperactive children. Agree with your child that when he is doing some important business (or you need to work quietly), then there will be a “hour of silence” in your house. At this time, the child can read, draw, play, listen to the player or do something else very quietly. But then the “hour is possible” will come when he will be allowed to do whatever he wants. Promise not to bully your child if their behavior is not dangerous to health or to others.

Note. The described game hours can be alternated within one day, or can be postponed to another day. So that the neighbors do not go crazy with the “hour is possible”, it is better to organize it in the forest or in the country, where you will not feel guilty for disturbing other people.
