[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 24128, member: 84"] Fran I've wondered for a long time along these lines. My Mom was what I call a "runner", so was my grandmother. There always seemed to be somewhere to go, or something needed to be done. And as kids we were usually drug right along. More so with me and my brother than the other kids. Both grandma and Mom got so used to always running that after awhile too much down time would drive them crazy. So we'd find ourselves running just to run around. lol My brother and I were both hyperactive to the max. The older kids were fine. Same with grandma's kids. The older ones were ok along those lines, but the younger ones were hyper. When I look back at the pattern of both women's lives they became more active as "runners" as their children aged. Both had large families, so it appears more evident in the younger kids who were probably toted around much more than the older ones. I don't remember ever trying to stimulate my kids. If it was some new parenting idea at the time I guess I was out of the loop. lol With T it was always trying NOT to stimulate him. So our family life has been pretty sedate and as boring as I could make it. Both T and N were evaled twice for ADHD/ADD. There is no doubt they don't have it. I've noticed a change in Darrin recently. While I sat for him and easy child was in school he was a pretty darn mellow lil guy. Now that he only comes here to visit, is in daycare all week, and with his Mom who is one who loves to run around he has begun showing signs of hyperness, aggression, and defiance. Just what I've noticed with my family. [/QUOTE]
