Suggest Treatment For Hyper-activeness In Children

I have an 11 year old grandson that is always tired and grouchy. He acts childish at times and almost hyperactive. He can calm down when he is involved in a project such as building a Lego kit. Today about 5:00 he fell asleep and when he woke about an hour and 1/2 later, he angrily pounded his footsteps as he went downstair and demanded to know when dinner would be ready. What is going on with him?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The given symptoms do not warrant hyper activity. Tiredness and grouchy symptoms are not regarded to be part of hyperactivity. Being hyperactive at times is also not hyperactivity. Another thing to note is he is attentive, calm and involved when doing some work / project which is quite engrossing or requires attention. Therefore Attention deficit can also be almost set aside. You need to observe his general behavior for any behavior problems such as aggressiveness or attention seeking. Please consult a child psychologist for diagnosis or you may provide detailed symptom list here.

Good luck. Take care.
