I found this article very interesting...a 'reframe'
http://eideneurolearningblog.blogspot.com/Has anyone found that putting their child in a preschool with older kids has helped? I imagine that older children would provide more of the right kind of stimulation and be more able to withstand the space invasion.
Has anyone found that giving their child 'workbooks' for much older children or finding some way to wear the child out mentally helps regulate energy? Has she read 'Tuck Everlasting' that has some big ideas in it that might give a need for pondering time.
Do you have a sand tub in the house where she can search for small objects? Hand putty? You could consider seeing an Occupational Therapist. They are specialists in finding activities for helping kids manage their energy. Your insurance might cover it.
Karate is an old favorite. I'm guessing your DD would look adorable in that little outfit and be very precise about it.
I was very unaware of what was going on with my son at age 3. I thought that all kids were just like him at home, where I couldn't see it.
Sounds like a bright teen or tween 'mother's helper' would be a good investment in your surenity.
Best Wishes,
Grinity
