In a column for Free Press Journal, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni opened up about the traits of a hyperactive child and mentioned that it might irritate the parents. However, she added that punishing the child won't discipline him/her and shared that aggression might ruin relationships. Asking the parents to be patient with their hyperactive children, Riddhima penned:
"Using punishment as a means to discipline the child is not always right. At some point, you end up resorting to raising a hand on your child. However, aggression often ruins relationships and worsens situations. To establish order, talk to your child, reason it out, and don’t show aggression. Be patient with your child. It may take some time, but slowly you will see the result. Your child will understand that throwing tantrums is not getting them anywhere.”
Riddhima also revealed that her daughter, Samara was also a hyperactive child and shared how both the mother and daughter got through the phase. Mentioning that her daughter started playing sports, Riddhima revealed that those outdoor activities later turned into hobbies. In her words:
"My daughter was a very hyper child. I didn’t know what to do. This was the only way that helped her and me through the phase. She started playing sports and doing a lot of digital art, and different activities that she enjoyed. It all turned into hobbies as time progressed."

Riddhima and her hubby, Bharat are working parents, and yet they have been acing their parenting duties like a pro. Further in her column, the doting mommy shared that in order to attain a work-life balance, parents should spend more time with their children. She concluded:
"I know working parents have a tough time striking a balance between work and home responsibilities. In such a scenario, leave professional commitments at the doorstep and spend time with the child. Give the child attention. Many times, children do things just to get a reaction from their parents - be it throwing tantrums or causing havoc in the house."
