Spanish term
No fomentar la activación del niño
Non-PRO
Spanish to English
Medical
Medical (general)
Hyperactivity
Trying to stay away from the words 'stimulate' and 'excite' her for obvious reasons :-) 'Activarse' is used in the following line too. Any other synonyms welcome. Thanks.
**No fomentar la activación del niño**:
Estos niños tienen una facilidad extraordinaria para activarse y mucha dificultad para inhibirse y controlarse. Por este motivo, son más vulnerables a la influencia del ambiente inmediato. Si el entorno es estresante, si los gritos son frecuentes, si el ambiente es desorganizado, es muy probable que su inestabilidad se manifieste en forma de una hiperactividad incontrolada y una excitabilidad muy marcada.
Los padres pueden ayudar a crear un ambiente más relajado para que el niño actúe de una forma más moderada. A menudo se encuentran con la dificultad añadida de que ellos también son hiperactivos y que educar a un niño hiperactivo conlleva una dificultad extra que, en ocasiones, les hace perder los nervios.

easily aroused...
ADD children are "easily aroused" which would fit your "facilidad para activarse".
Not sure how the same term fits "no fomentar la activación del niño. Something like: don't encourage child to be overaroused.

Yes, I guess you are right, Lisa. Some useful terms get corrupted and become "dirty".

Note from asker:
Hi Cecilia, I'm not sure about 'arouse' as it tends to have the same sexual conotation sometimes as 'excite' and 'stimulate' :-) |

Do not encourage the child to act up
The first mention of "activarse" seems very clearly intended to mean 'act up' (or often incorrectly phrased 'act out)'- possibly a translation of original English. So I'm assuming "activación' is a reference back to "activarse".
Below is a quote from an article explaining the difference between 'acting out' and 'acting up':
Acting-up, (i.e. conscious, deliberate misbehaving) is NOT acting-out. It is truly appalling how many times people use the term acting out to refer to someone who’s simply exhibiting undesirable behavior. I hear TV commercials by behavioral therapists offering to fix your child’s “acting-out” behaviors, and see rules in psychiatric hospitals and residential centers forbidding “sexual acting-out” or other inappropriate conduct. One online psychiatric glossary even gave two definitions for acting-out, one correct, the other being the mistaken notion that has so deeply crept into the popular lexicon that it’s made a correct understanding of the concept almost impossible.
The real danger in misusing this term ['acting out'] is that one can make a disastrous presumption that every time someone acts in an inappropriate manner, they’re necessarily and unconsciously playing out some kind of inner conflict (i.e. unresolved “issues”), when the fact may be that they’re simply engaging in immature, irresponsible behavior which they’re aware they shouldn’t be doing and that’s completely within their ability to control. Misperceiving the nature of circumstances is a major way people end up being abused by irresponsible characters. It’s also how clinicians inadvertently enable irresponsible behavior instead of fostering real change. Words mean things. We can’t communicate effectively unless we use words correctly. To do that, we have to know what the words actually mean. Acting-up is not acting-out.

If the idea is 'act up', then what we don't want to do is encourage this behavior.
