[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 365693, member: 3907"] Mini trampoline, pogo stick, something. I agree with the others that, rather than trying to stop the behaviour, you just need to redirect it in a constructive way. I have a perennial need to wiggle, as do 4 out of the 5 children. Little easy child and I broke our mini trampoline last summer -- it just couldn't take the abuse. I had a pogo stick for years, and used to just hop all over the yard -- down the garden path, up the driveway and back. Tot Monster P is highly entertained when I do jetes (a ballet-style jump) with her as she jumps around in her jolly jumper. Sometimes I even resort to jumping on the bed (we have a light fixture that hugs the ceiling closely -- husband knows me well. He knew that a low fixture wouldn't stop me, but would break either the fixture or the top of my head.) In some cases it is an Aspie thing, but whatever the cause I know that with me it is an imperative. [/QUOTE]
