Many therapeutic systems consciously or unconsciously operate upon the assumption that a hyperactive child improves primarily by “burning energy” through repetitive movement, exercise or sensory stimulation. Although physical activity possesses important developmental and regulatory benefits, the concept that exhausting a child represents true behavioural channelization is scientifically questionable and developmentally incomplete. This article argues that exhausting a hyperactive child is not equivalent to channelizing energy. In many situations, excessive movemen...

It is a cognitive, emotional, interpretive and relational response emerging from how an individual senses, understands and emotionally experiences the world....
