Make sure that a child has plenty of time and gets out in the fresh air. Part of this pent up energy can come from not allowing the body to fully exhaust itself during the day. Children are not getting the exercise they need, and in fact, it is not getting rid of all their energy. By running and playing and being outside, many report that some of the symptoms of ADHD diminish.
