[quote=Anonymous]Ditto everyone else. I have a 2 year old boy, and he's been like this since birth. We can't do story times, gym classes, etc. I will say that he recently started in preschool, and he seems to be more attentive there. He participates in circle time, sits quietly at the table for his snacks, and walks in a straight line to the playground each day. I think not having me around helps to control his enthusiasm. I'm not concerned that he is ADHD, autistic, etc etc because he can sit still and pay attention when he wants to--but he's a boy and most of the time, he just doesn't want to sit down listen when he could be exploring and running around. OP, it's totally exhausting, but it's part of having a boy. Personally, when I'm at the end of my rope, I tell myself that it's better to have a kid who's really engaged and excited about trying new things and experimenting than a kid who just sits around and waits for someone to tell him/her what to do. (Though I'm hoping #2 is a sitter and listener....). [/quote]
