What foods can calm a child?

There are several foods that can help to calm a child, including oatmeal, bananas, and yogurt. Oatmeal is high in fiber and can help regulate a child’s blood sugar levels, which can reduce irritability. Bananas contain tryptophan, which helps to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is known to help with relaxation and calmness. Yogurt is full of probiotics, which can help to soothe the digestive system and promote a sense of calm. Other foods that may help to reduce stress in children include apples, blueberries, and almonds.

What can I give my hyper child to calm down?

It can be difficult to know what to do when your child is feeling overly excited or hyperactive. Here are a few strategies that may help to calm down your child:

• Encourage deep breathing exercises. Have your child take slow, deep breaths, counting to five on each inhale and exhale.

• Provide a calming environment. Turn off any distractions (television, music, etc.) and keep the environment quiet.

• Involve your child in a calming activity. This could include drawing, coloring, reading, or playing a quiet game.

• Offer a healthy snack. Eating a snack that includes protein, fruits, and/or vegetables can help to improve mood and focus.

• Provide physical activity. Allowing your child to release some of their energy through physical activity can help to reduce hyperactivity.

• Engage in positive reinforcement. Praise your child when they are behaving in a calm, appropriate manner.
