What to do if your eight-month-old baby is very active

At three months old, babies can roll over, at six months old, sit up, and at nine months old, they can crawl. As the amount of activity increases, eight-month-old babies seem to love to move. Some babies turn their bodies around from time to time and are very naughty. Some babies even make adults mistakenly think that they have ADHD. No matter what they see, they want to try to pick up and bite it with their hands. They love to move all day long. Is it normal for an eight-month-old baby to be so active?

Eight-month-old babies are very active and adventurous. So don't worry too much. It is good for a baby of this age to love to move around. It proves that the baby is energetic. Babies who love to move around are smart. It is better for the baby to be a little naughty. The so-called ADHD does not mean that all active babies have ADHD. It mainly means that the baby cannot concentrate on a certain event in a short period of time. The probability of this happening is very small.

2. Early clinical characteristics of ADHD in children

1. Overactivity: Most of them begin in early childhood and become prominent after entering elementary school. When going to class, you can't stop reading, tear up your books, draw, touch anything you like.

3. Emotionally unstable, impulsive and willful, will cry for no reason, be impatient and do things in a hurry.

4. Learning difficulties: The children have normal intelligence, but have learning difficulties due to hyperactivity. Some children have cognitive impairment and comprehensive analysis disorders. The disease usually begins before the age of 7 and lasts for more than 6 months.

1. Children with ADHD have few hobbies and interests. Even if they use their favorite game consoles or children's TV programs, they cannot concentrate on them. However, naughty children are completely different. Not only can they concentrate on the activities they are interested in, but they also hate the interference and influence of others.

2. The actions of children with ADHD are impulsive, disorganized, and have no beginning or end. For example, they cannot concentrate when doing homework, and they do it half-heartedly and carelessly. They start things but never finish them, often give up halfway or change them frequently. The behavior of naughty children has a certain purpose and is planned and arranged.

3. Children with ADHD have poor self-control. No matter what the occasion, they are always busy and noisy. For example, they cannot sit still in the classroom and often twist or stand up in their seats. In serious cases, they leave their seats and walk around, or leave the classroom without permission. They talk a lot, make noise, interrupt, and cause trouble, affecting classroom discipline in order to attract other people's attention. Naughty children are not like this. They can behave themselves in unfamiliar environments and serious occasions, dare not make trouble, and have strong self-control. Therefore, don’t assume that your child has ADHD when you see him/her being hyperactive. Labeling naughty children as having ADHD will only bring them unnecessary psychological pressure. If you cannot distinguish them yourself, you can go to a specialist hospital and let a doctor identify them.
