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.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
