In any child's room you ideally want to try and keep the color scheme focused around healing and harmonious shades of both blue and green. Positive images should also be scatted throughout, as they will encourage your child to bloom and grow in a wonderfully supportive manner. However, these rules must be adjusted for the hyperactive child.
Inside their room you'll want to try to bring balance to an overactive temperament with what would be termed 'extreme Yin,' or really soft fabrics, and colors such as pale gold and yellow. Pale colors have been proven to quiet a racing mind, with pale yellow specifically proven to help subdue the mind for serious study and restful sleep.
The next time you consider handing over a Ritalin, why not first roll up your sleeves and paint the town yellow? That might be just what the doctor ordered!
