[quote=Anonymous]Yes. 3 boys here, and it drives me bonkers. I give them yard work assignments, other outside chores, and other creative things. They have to run from one fence to another X times if I notice their energy levels rising. I'm about to get some big balls for them to sit on while they watch their one tv show today just to have another physical outlet. I had a pre-determined training regime for each kid for them to do - X burpees, X jumping jacks, etc - They love it. We call it training camp. They now have fitbits, and they try to see how many steps they can get. Now that sports are picking back up, I'll put them in rec sports. The most tired I got them was during swim team season + camp - swim practice in the morning, camp for 9 hours (which included 2 hours of swim) and then swim practice that night (they chose to do it, I didn't make them do so much practice!). Then, and only then, did I succeeed in tiring them out.[/quote]
