[quote=Anonymous]Yesss. So much intensity! I wish I could borrow like 5% of their energy. I have two elementary school aged boys and while there are times when I'm totally overstimulated, exhausted and my ears are ringing from the sheer volume...I know I will also miss this age. There is something so awesome about being that uninhibited. That being said, one of mine has ADHD and the difference between his and his brother's ability to self-regulate when in an excited mood is extremely obvious. He just can't turn off the weird animal noises or stop being physical when he wants to. It's a major, major effort. I do agree that there is something about screens that seems to increase agitation and crabbiness for him. I don't see that impact as much on his non-ADHD brother. Try to go with the flow when you can and remember this too shall pass![/quote]
