Dear sir,
Does the inability to sit still or focus occurs only in school. If the problem happens at home also & on a daily basis , kindly get him evaluated for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
a common behavioral disorder that affects an estimated 8% to 10% of school-age children.
Sugar, wheat or milk restriction is unlikely to be helpful.
