thanks, do you have children like this? I have found that the more she runs and jumps the more she revs up, and never seems to get it out. I took her to an open gym last night, bought her an indoor trampoline, took her to an indoor play place with a huge climbing structure the day before for three hours, a huge indoor children's museum where they run around, play with puppets, etc. the day before that for three hours,etc. It is hard to explain her energy though: it has a physical element, but it is more expressive and emotional. We live in a cold, snowy climate and it had been near zero on and off and it is hard with both of them outside, and I really don't like the cold so we don't get outside as much as she might like. I guess I just want to be able to be home with her and have her be able to just hang out in a calm way instead of needing to always be ON even after hours and hours of being somewhere where she should have gotten it "out." I just don't know other kids like this. Maybe we need to find boys for her to play with, but like I said her energy is mostly about loudly playacting stories, singing songs, talking and many boys are not as theatrical and verbal. I just do not have this sort of gusto--wish I did!
