[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 451914, member: 3444"] difficult child may not be raging, but I know how draining the bouncing-off-the-walls-happy can drive you! When my difficult child 2 is like that, I feel on edge because I just don't know what his poor impulse control will lead him to. He was like that as a toddler, and though I could physically control him because of his puppy-size then, he's approaching 6 feet in height now and he's a whole different beast. Have you ever tried deep massage on difficult child, or given him some deep pressure exercises to try when he's really hyper like this? I learned the technique from a PT/Occupational Therapist (OT) back before the my difficult children had any diagnosis or started medications and it proved to be calming for both of mine when they were spiraling. There are probably lots of things you have around the house that he could manipulate to work his muscles and put pressure on the larger joints. Here's a link that gives ideas for things to do at school for kids that have sensory issues that express as hyperactivity: [URL]http://www.livestrong.com/article/14740-deep-pressure-and-heavy-activities-for-school-age-children/[/URL] One of the simplest things we do is just have difficult child 2 lay on the floor on his belly and prop himself up on his elbows while watching TV.
