Do you regret?

I think all children could be described as hyperactive to a certain extent. Children aren't supposed to have long attention spans, certainly not one year olds. I understand that it can be frustrating sometimes, but like you said, he doesn't understand what you are upset about or what he should be doing differently. At his age, in order to help him become a decent human being, the best you can do is lead by example. Show him how to be patient and loving. Demonstrate how to ask nicely for something you want and how to share. Beyond that, I think you may need to wait until he's a little bit older to get some of your other points across. I think it's great that you want to help him grow into a good person, but you need to let him have fun as a child also. Children aren't meant to sit calmly and quietly. Of course they need discipline, but they also need to be able to behave like children. I hope this helps!

Okay, first, if he's only a year old, he WON'T sit peacefully. He's a baby! He learns by moving around and exploring and getting into things. That's what babies do. On top of that, do you really think he's irritating you on purpose? Again, he's a baby! This post kind of made me angry. I have three kids, granted they are considerably older than yours, they have all been one year olds and they didn't sit "peacefully". They aren't supposed to. The problem isn't the baby, the problem is that you need some patience.

One years old! Oh you are being to harsh. Try looking at the more positive things, he is exploring and trying to learn new things. Is your house child proof? What is he doing that is so bad? Let him run. If there is things he can get into that he shouldn't then you should be putting them up or putting a lock on things. If this is how you show your love to him imagine what he is going to be like the older he gets...It will only get worse and worse. Pick your battles, is it really worth yelling at him for? Keep in mind he is little and doesn't understand everything you say yet. If he is doing something that is irritating you walk away, go into another room. You need to fix this before it is too late.

He is there to assist with patience and tolerance. I have asked many persons the same about regret for their son or daughter and if you are honest with your self sure you will have some regret.That is all natural as long as you get through and appreciate him after.

hi i am a grandmother of two hyperactive boys. one is on meds and the othere will be soon. its hard sometimes nto to scold them. the question is.. can they help what they are doing?? i try talking to them, asking them..how do you feel today? they will tell you, if they feel energetic they need to get rid of some of it..ie. running, playing etc. the little one is 5 years old and needs a lot of attention. my daughter goes thru a lot with him. seems no one understands him but us. the teacher at his preschool seems like she does not understand him either. kids are so unique. each one is different. i would suggest to "get to know" him. if there is one thing he likes, use that as a means of helping to control the attitudes, behavior etc. for instance the little one here, loves cars, so if he gets hyper and out of hand, i say, listen now, we are going to work hard to get that new hotwheels right? and sometimes it helps. just remember kids now a days are so smart. smarter than when mine wre small. good luck
