I heard some parents give medicine to their hyperactive children and personally, I think that's quite disturbing. Kids are supposed to enjoy and be active. What's wrong with that??? It's when the kid is staring into space like a dum-dum, that's when you start to get worried. So Engee, if I were you, I'd just let it be and let my kid enjoy his childhood.

For having a friend whose daughter is hyperactive...
As long as your child is able to concentrate on an activity, and that he being active doesn't disturb is ability to socialize and make friends you shouldn't worry.
In case you have doubts... definitely get a medical opinon from a doctor specialized in these kind of problem... and not just the regular ped... who most of the time doesn't know much about the real medical meaning of hyperactivity.

Trouble with hyperactivity... is that the label is unfortunately quite often too fast apposed... and children who are just very active end up with medication.
For the few children with real problems... the medication really change their life.
