[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 609531, member: 1514"] My younger two boys have always been overactive and from very early on they had to have outside time. I have no clue what we would have done if we had to live in the inner city but luckily we have lived in places they had open range for most of their lives. For about a year and a half we lived in a small city but right inside the city and it was the worst period of their lives. They wanted to be outside and I had a dickens of a time keeping them in. My younger two played three sports a year from the time they were 7. That was the earliest age that teams started here. They also came straight home from school, dropped their backpacks at the door and headed out to play. One interesting thing is that when my middle son went into boot camp for the Marines he had to be still when told and active when told. He learned to wiggle his toes in his boots to keep something moving but no one could tell...lol. Also this same kid started running long distance track when he went off his ADHD medication entering HS. He ran 3 miles in the morning and 4 miles or more every afternoon. He could never have a sedentary job. His job in the Marines was as a military policeman and now he works for the sheriff's dept. He is always out either driving or walking. [/QUOTE]
