How to correct a child's hyperactive habit

Patient's question:

The baby is always active, never still for a minute—it's either jumping or bouncing. When eating, they're not in one place either. Is this a sign of ADHD?

Doctor's answer:

After completing the prescribed actions, verbal approval or spiritual encouragement is given. Then material rewards are provided; parents and children can also sign a contract to provide guarantees.
After behavior occurs, parents express dissatisfaction or cancel the rewards given by the positive reinforcement method. The most common and most effective method, with no side effects, is to ignore their behavior. At first, the behavior may temporarily increase, but do not interrupt it. Then it will gradually decrease or disappear. Encourage children to develop new behaviors, but there is a process. Do not be too rushed. Additionally, psychological treatment is more effective.
