I'm pg with a boy ( have dds) and was with my cousin and her ds yesterday. He's so active (hyper). He was told repeatedly to stop doing things and he would say OK and just do it anyway. He didn't listen at all and acted like he was high on uppers. Scared the hell out of me. I have to easy going kids. Holy shit..please tell me all boys aren't like that [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I wish I could tell you boys weren't physical and active, certainly more so than girls. But they don't have to be out of control either. You do have to run them a bit more like a labs. [ Reply | More

what was the consequence for tantrumming in timeout? in my house, that simply extends the timeout. i'm betting he doesn't get consistent consequences at home. just a guess. i obviously don't know. [ Reply | More
