[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last 8 minutes. Set up fingerpaint in yard, 20 feet from front door and nicer white limestone porch. Kids jump feet first to foot paint and run towards white limestone and stomp all over it. Run to the water table, we have hose going, 3 year old sprays all of us, kids stripped down to underwear diaper. Little one takes diaper off himself with crap running down his leg. Big mess.8 minutes of activity. Soaked, paint all over them, and now bored. 8 minutes. Now imagine the day and what that is like with these kinds of kids. [/quote] It sounds like your older kid is more impulsive than what is typical. Hard to say about a one year old, but he sounds atypical too. That said, why did the painting and hose play end there? That sounds like a fantastic way for them to get out their energy. Work with what you've got. Hanging from the chandelier? Shut it down. Painting and playing at a water table and with the hose? Totally acceptable. [/quote] So what’s your armchair diagnosis.. you said dh sh are atypical.. what are you diagnosing them with? [/quote]
