[quote=Anonymous]Some kids are active - especially once they've found their legs. This is very typical. Try doing activities that allow him to vent his energy rather then expect him to sit still. Follow through and be consistent on having him listen to you (he's probably a bit young for time outs, but natural consequences work well). Our oldest was the type of toddler that needed to run around, jump, leap, climb, etc and could walk 3/4 of a mile to the library as long as I kept him engaged (had to be consistent with hand holding or holding onto the stroller as well). Tons of energy. If he was unable to get that energy out, it often turned into a discipline issue. He's evened out now at 4 (although he is still an active kid). [/quote]
