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?
You are definitely not alone!!
I've found that when we come across a math concept in her workbook that is still over her head, she is suddenly tired and wants to go to bed (she loves doing math workbooks at night). I never thought of it as a "strategy" to wear her out though. I think this is an example of what Grinity is talking about though.
ETA: Here is the math workbook - higher thinking, problem solving math book imo:
