No suggestions, but I have a very active son also. It can be very tiring because he is NEVER quiet. If we are in a store he will sound off, because he likes the accoustics. Everyone in the store is looking at me as if he is crazy. I understand the enthusiam. Generally, I try to spend some "get our crazies out" time and then eat/bathe or some other interum activity and then have some quiet time reading or on an art project. I know if we go to a carnival he will peg the needle. He feeds off the lights and noise. He is 3 1/2 and I am going to have his IQ tested in the next few weeks.
Maybe trying to desensitize him might help. Calming classical music, playing with paper mache or play dough, jumping in a pile of leaves? (Okay so maybe one suggestion...)
Good Luck to you
