👦👧 Why Do Children Become Hyperactive?

Hyperactivity in children isn’t always about “too much energy.” There can be deeper reasons behind it. Some common causes include:

✔ Insomnia – Lack of proper sleep affects focus and behavior
✔ Emotional or Mental Health Challenges – Anxiety, depression, or other struggles may show up as restlessness
✔ Stress – Academic, family, or social pressures can trigger hyperactive responses
✔ Inactivity – Not enough physical play leads to pent-up energy
✔ Medical Conditions – Underlying health issues may also play a role

🌿 Understanding why is the first step toward helping children thrive. With the right guidance and care, hyperactivity can be managed in healthy ways.

✨ At Oaktree Connect, we help families find professional psychologists who specialize in child development and mental health.

🌿 Friday Feeling: You’re Not Broken, You’re Navigating a Tough Turn

Losing a job isn’t just about finances. It can deeply affect your confidence, sense of purpose, and emotional well-being. At Oaktree Connect, our psychologists understand how heavy that can feel.
