[quote=Anonymous]I have boys who are 9 and 7.  Agree with others re the physical activity but it sounds like you're pretty much on that.

I have had more success with specific bright line rules and immediate consequences.  I don't aim high here but for one, they cannot run, jump, wrestle, race, etc. in the dining room or kitchen (breakable and hot things).  They also cannot throw/dribble/bounce in the house.   If they do, the thing they were playing with gets taken away.  We live in a small house and don't have a finished basement, and it doesn't work to say you can throw around this ball but not that one.  No balls inside.

Like one of the PPs we are also constantly telling them that XYZ is an outside activity.

I hear you though, next time it's 50 degrees and pouring rain and my kids are on top of each other all day, I know I'll be sitting here begging them to just do a freaking puzzle and dreading the screams of whatever kid bumps his head first.  I don't have any great solutions.[/quote]
