[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has he gone from a physically active environment to one that requires a lot of sitting? Honestly, maybe it is obviously stress to you but if my kid were doing that it would be a sign that he needs more sensory input and intense physical activity.

I agree that reducing stress by reducing extracurricular activities might help, EXCEPT make sure he is getting plenty of exercise. Unstructured running around outside or at a playground might be the best way to do that but if there is a sport that he loves that is low stress for him that might work. Swings, trampolines, and physical games that involve a lot of tackling/rolling on the ground also really help to relax and center my son.[/quote]

PP again. When we can't get outside we also have a large yoga ball, a "hoppity" ball, a small trampoline, and a room with a couch that the kids are allowed to stand on, jump on, make a cushion pile and jump in it, etc. Seriously, especially after a few rainy days in a row when there is no PE and no recess my kid is about to burst out of his skin. He does not have ADHD. He just needs to move.[/quote]
