From the author: At the time of writing this article, I wanted to minimally use academic and scientific language, and simply follow professional logic and breathe a little metaphor into it. And the most important thing is clarity, and with it the ability for parents to take a fresh look at their “overly” active children. Let us imagine for a moment that the high activity of modern children is not a syndrome of a complex and multifaceted disease associated with various types of disorders in the central nervous system, but a certain stage in human evolution. We have been waiting for a long time for some kind of continuation of evolution, there are already thousands of communities on social networks that are preparing, and some believe that they are already evolving, while performing various kinds of manipulations on themselves, testing their psyche and body for strength. Our brain is very adaptive to all kinds of external influences, in this our “testers” were very lucky... Let's stay a little in the present, in the real world, then we will see that evolution is also real, and not something from the realm of fantasy, mutating creatures with an ugly and strong body, people who do not feel pain, who do not need food and drink, flying people... I will present the following point of view regarding the increased mobility and activity of children in the modern world. Observations of hyperactive children began in 1798. Alexander Crichton, in his book An Inquiry into the Nature and Origin of Mental Disorder, describes mental properties that resemble a hyperactive child. To date, the number of such children has increased significantly, perhaps due to the close attention of science and medicine, the influence of external factors, increased requirements in general education institutions, the age norm at which children go to school, complaints about “problem” children to psychologists, parents, doctors, and maybe all together. However, what is most attractive is the fact that when faced with this kind of little man, science and doctors did not have the appropriate images regarding this “object.” And everything that is alien to us and does not correspond to our ideas is not safe, and everything that is not safe is subject to either correction, rejection (rejection) or destruction. This can easily be assumed based on the sciences that study the brain. Thus, we are “normal”, adapting “modern” children to our “ancient” system. The fact that we are in a hurry to live has ceased to be a secret long ago, all of our industrial development has directly related to acceleration. “Survival of the fittest” - everyone is familiar with this saying and most people see a 2-meter-tall giant weighing 160 kg grow before their eyes..., some also have associations with a hardworking, purposeful person with strong willpower, but few people, before a predator appears with his eyes, pursuing his prey; fast, with developed muscles, practically no fat deposits, purposeful. That is, in the proverb, the concept of strength contains all the necessary qualities, and not just steel muscles. This is exactly the kind of predator you need to be, no matter what to survive, but to live in our rapidly growing, high-speed social environment, where everyone is in a hurry, afraid of being late to live.” The program circuits in the neural network are built in such a way that everything that is negative, unnecessary, and undesirable should be inhibited, and everything that is necessary and desirable should be excited. Thus, in an advanced evolutionary system, the environment and behavior are assessed as necessary or necessary. In our society, speed and speed are necessary. More specifically, arousal becomes necessary and desirable during various activities. The main problem is the direction and control of this flow, the dosage of excitation and its strength while the child grows and develops. However, this is the evolution of personal adaptation and it cannot be perfect at all stages.” Now, look at your highly active child, is he this predator? Fast, agile, purposeful - yes, yes, purposeful, only his goals.
