[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think around age 5-6 once they start “real” school they do generally mellow out a bit. Not every kid of course but many who were more high energy as toddlers-preschoolers. [/quote] My 7 year old first grader has mellowed a bit but he still can't play on his own to save his life. Never could. His introverted little sister has been better at independent play since she was a toddler. Now, he can do things like read to himself, play computer games, do projects. But just playing without me suggesting any of the above? Nope. He is of course much easier than he used to be though, and when he gets together with a friend it's incredibly easy because they just disappear or go nuts on the playground. His energy level is incredible though. He's always been pretty low on the sleep need scale (dropped his nap by 2.5, ugh) and he still is -- leaps out of bed chipper as heck at 6 am on a weekend.
