Sharing this in this section, cause realy only a parent would understand..

Our son is EXTREMLY hyper. Yes, I know he is three.. but he is ALOT more active then other three year olds, and thats alway been true. Every teacher/etc has always told us that, and you can see it if you watch him in a class. So he can be a bit of a handle. He gets himself in to more trouble because he WANTS to help then anything else....plus you add all teh issues with his celiac disease and egg allery, he can be a real handful and then some!!

Well based onthat you can guess how shocking this is. Ms Rebbecca, his new Sunday school teacher, actually told us " I was HOPING he would be in my class! I am so happy I got him!" :o

Thats enough to make a grown daddy tear up.....

A big congrats to that! Its always wonderful to get a teacher who really "gets" your kid!

BTW Have you looked into his activity possibly being a result of preservatives and food dyes? I was a Special Ed teacher for a short time and found out that many of the problems these kids were having came from the food additives. I think its the Feingold diet that touches on this... not 100% sure. Just a thought.

Food dyes and additives defintitly CAN cause that, of that I have no doubt. Right now we are working on broadening his food selections so that we can have a bit more fleixiblity in tring different things, and I am tyring to pay attn to what he eats and what he does following it... prbly need to create a food log to get a better handle on it.

He has always been overactive though, even in the womb....

My best advise to you is to learn how to channel that energy in a productive manner, reading, art, hands on puzzels, small tool (age approp), lego's are great and a good parent child activity. At 3 yrs old, you have a long road ahead of you. Keep those hands busy with productive and learning activities.

When my Catherine was in grade school, she would mix up toothpaste, shampoo,ajax,windex, and anything to could concoct in her bathroom sink....(which by the way ate up all to metal components of the sink drain, in every house that we have lived in). Today, she is a Chemist testing drugs, before FDA approval.

You have a long way to go, but feed that fire and good things will come.

:lol::blink::lol::blink: I couldn't help but truly laugh out loud and read this to my husband...then he laughed out loud! We understand this all too well. Zachary is 3 1/2 and also has a "high level of energy". He isn't hyperactive but does frequently move about the room he's in. His biggest issue is attention and distractability which is the root of the "high level of energy". He can certainly be a handful sometimes, too, as only a 3 year old with ADD could. :blink:

His preschool teacher knows that I taught special ed before I stayed home, so we've had some really funny conversations about Zachary. She's often tells me how bright he is but can't string beads if he's sitting next to someone. :lol::lol: She absolutely loves him and is a wonderful teacher. I just crack up when she and I talk b/c I've had tons of kids like that in my class as well as lived with my brother, who has ADD,for 33 years. When did your son start preschool? Zachary started in April...he turned 3 the end of March.

Eukee the Jumpy Jumpy Elephant is a great children's book. It's about an elephant with ADD and the related trials and tribulations. I know you can order it online from Barnes and Noble.

Sounds like a good teacher (or at least a brave teacher)!! Our #2 is also very energetic. He is fine if he gets a good 1-2 hours a day to runaround and burn off energy. When he was a toddler, I got him outside every day no matter what the weather was like. If it was raining, I bundled him up in slicker and boots, grabbed umbrellas, and took him and #1 puddle-stomping.

I can totally relate ... my active son is now 16 ... once he started growing hair on his legs, he wasn't nearly as hyper and doesn't get up with the sun anymore either!!

I hear you there, I have a VERY hyper 6 year old who just started kindergarten. I too love it when I see someone embrace him rather than be annoyed by him! :D:D:D It warms the heart thats for sure...

My second-oldest daughter was a 'wild little bumblebee', as I called her, when she was little, with wild curls and a mischivious little pixi face. She was ALWAYS in trouble, because she HAD to touch everything, and experiment. And I mean, she really had to, she couldn't help herself.

When she was a young teenager, often she'd come down after she had gone to bed already, proclaiming that she couldn't sleep, because her 'legs felt like running', so, she put on a coat and a pair of running shoes and ran around the block, and was able to sleep after that.

She is still very active, in fact, will go crazy without exercise. Which shouldn't be a problem with being the director of recreation (on maternity leave right now) in a school year-round outdoors camp.

If the energy is channelled into the right activities, it is not a problem, and medication is a travesty and a great disservice to those kids.

Hooray for Timmy for having a great teacher, who appreciates him just the way he is. I know from experience, that those kids aren't easy ones to handle (Karen would drive me up the wall sometimes, and yes, she was like that in the womb already, too). But hey, with a kid like that, life is definitely never boring! :D:P

That is great that someone understands kids with a lot of energy. My son (who is turning 3 in two weeks) is like that. He has to constantly jump and flip. I am going to start looking for a gymnastics class for him so he can get rid of some of his energy. His new trick is standing on his head on the couch. He looks so funny....I'm going to have to take a picture of him next time he does it.

      My mo,ther married a bread making when I was 4

      By Jane878 · Posted

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.
