Why does my child run everywhere?

Running all over the place is something that many children do, but not everyone understands.

Here is why your child may be running everywhere:

Your child has a lot of energy:

Sometimes your child runs around simply because they have high amounts of energy and they need to use that energy.

If the energy in your child’s body is not used then they may start to feel frustrated and aggravated so they will run to use up all this energy.

What to do:

While it may be exhausting watching your energy-filled child run around it should not worry you, children running around is quite common and is actually a good thing.

They are being playful and are having fun:

Another reason why your child may be running around everywhere may simply be that they are having fun.

Running is fun for children so they do it whenever they can. Children can find anything fun because they aren’t burdened with all the responsibilities that adults have.

Kids are simply carefree and run because they feel like it, they are filled with joy, as corny as it sounds, but it’s true. Your child is experiencing how fun it is to simply be alive and able to explore and wander to their heart’s desire.

What to do:

This is normal and there isn’t anything that you’d need to do or worry about, just let your child run around and have fun, this is the only time that they’ll be a kid so let them enjoy it.

It’s the food your child eats:

Another reason why your child may be running around may be because of the foods that they eat.

Certain foods are chock-full of sugars and eating these foods will cause your child to become hyperactive and run around, this is one of the reasons why it isn’t advised to feed children too many sweet things.

Certain chemicals in your child’s foods can also be the cause of hyperactive behaviors in your child

What to do:

Take a closer look at the foods that your child is eating, even if some foods are labeled as healthy and low sugar they may still contain ingredients that are causing hyperactivity in your child.

If you can, feed your child more whole foods.

If your child has a sweet tooth you can offer them fruits. While fruits do have sugar, the amount of sugar that mother nature adds to fruits is not the same amount of sugar that humans add to processed foods.

They are bored:

Another simple reason why your child may be running around may simply be because they are bored.

Children will run around because they are nothing else to do and running around is their way of doing something.

What to do:

If your child is bored then you may want to let them run around outside, that is if you have access to somewhere safe where the kids can run around.

Running around outside allows the child to interact with nature. Nature, and the outside world, can be your kid’s toys. Nature is cheap, fun, and your kids can get very creative and play in nature all day till they get tired and sleep
