Physical influences can also cause children to play excessively Hunger, thirst, lack of sleep or illness can affect adults in many ways and make them irritable. For children, these effects will cause twice as much stimulation as for adults. So if children are tired or hungry, they tend to be more active and that is a natural consequence.

Be consistent Don't treat your child differently every day. If you are tough with your child one day and tolerant the next, he won't take you seriously.
