[quote=Anonymous]DS is almost 5. He is a sweet and energetic kid. Like most 5 year old's, he is hard to communicate with when he is excited or riled up. For example, if we go to the park and he starts playing with other kids, no level of calling his name or trying to talk to him will break through. I try to give him a few minutes of warning before I tell him we have to go home. He won't listen to me - he literally can't seem to hear me - amidst the excitement of playing. I have to physically hold him to get him to pay attention to me. But, I really don't like trying to pin my kid down. Any advice? Anyone have techniques to get their kid to pause and take a deep breath? I realize this is just a hard thing - even for some adults - but hoping for an alternative to holding him by the shoulders!!
