[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids need to get moving. Take them for a walk or to the local rec center or the Chick Fil A play area or indoor swimming -- something, anything outside the house. My kids were four years apart at that age, and that's what I did. They are flying off the handle because they have energy to burn that you are not helping them expend. That is why they are running in circles. Get out of the house, take them somewhere for a few hours to burn it off. When my kids were spinning up, I would take them somewhere.

I would also get creative and have them play search and seek inside the house. I'm hiding this stuffed animal/figurine, etc. first one who finds it gets a cookie. Or we would make cookies.

Just do something with them.[/quote]

Op here. I DO take them places. They are STILL like this. I can't take them somewhere every day after school. There has to be a balance between being at home and constantly on the go. On school days, I always take out the 3-year-old in the morning. [/quote]

Yes, you do need to take them outside everyday.

Why not go for a walk and have them ride their scooter or trike? Surely  your townhouse has a common area - tag, throw a beach ball around, simple obstacle course,  etc.

Are there no other kids in your townhouse area??[/quote]
