[quote=Anonymous]Yep, I have one of those. We bought an exercise ball she can bounce on, which seems to help. We also cleared a space where she can do cartwheels and handstands in the house without anything breakable in range. We try to get outside every day, which can be hard with both of us working, but it also helps. I also don't react when she trips or falls or whatever -- that's how they learn how to manage their body in space. I only comment if what she is doing is creating a high risk of injury or breakage, and then I just tell her to move away from the lamp or whatever. Kids this age both need to move and are not infrequently clumsy or awkward because they are growing and their bodies are changing. Irritation isn't helpful. If she's jumping on the furniture and that's against the rules, just have a consequence if she does it, and when she does it, just impose it without emotion. [/quote]
