This has been my life for years now. I have a four year old daughter who is very similar. My DD needs lots of activity and I am trying to find ways to get moments of peace so that I can revive my energy throughout the day since I am home full time with her and her highly active two year old sister. My four year old is highly melodramatic, and talks non stop and is very intense. If you don't live with a child who really panics and freaks out over tiny things, you just won't get it. It can be very draining. We use Coromega fish oil and it seems that it has helped a little bit. She has always had great focus, but her energy is utterly exhausting. Please don't take this the wrong way, but do you think he could have any type of sensory issue? Sometimes they can present in being over-reactive to things, hyperactive, etc. We are still wondering if my DD could have some sensory issue, but it might just be garden variety giftedness for both of us...
