[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Welcome to having a boy.

2) This is normal for an 18 mo. He's too young for classes and he's just an active kid.

Signed,

I agree with this.  Don't force them to sit still and/or focus before they are developmentally ready to do so.   At 18 months, with that type of personality, I wouldn't try to do any structured class or activity.

FWIW, my son is 4.5 now and much better at sitting and paying attention for short periods of time -- like the 10-15 minutes for circle time at preschool or our coloring for 1/2 hour after dinner.   But I still make sure he gets tons of unstructured physical activity.   It does get better.  [/quote]

I agree with these.  My DD was very active as a toddler.  There is nothing wrong with your toddler!  You just need to make sure you and/or nanny take him to the playground A LOT!  My DD calmed down more around age 5, then after that I put her in sports and she is often one of the best at sports.[/quote]
