If you have boys

[loskadoodle]

Are they super physical? Not like beat each other up, just constantly running, jumping, etc. mine are almost 4 and almost 2 and they are in constant motion and always wanting to be climbing and jumping off everything. I feel like I am constantly yelling to stop and calm down and you are going to get hurt. Do I need to just get over it and accept that this is how boys are?? I was raised with girls so I'm clueless.

[anaps28]

Yup that's how it is in my house. 19 months and 5 yrs old. Running jumping climbing tumbling...

[krystee]

DS has been like this since he could move.

[dcn]

Ds2 isn't mobile but ds1 is always climbing and jumping. It is exhausting.

[momin2013]

Yes, yes he is. Constant motion all.day.long.

[bowies]

Only one boy but yes, he's all over the place.

[estrellita]

Pretty much. It's exhausting. I think he gets it from DC because there are a few other boys within a few days of him and they all kinda wrestle together. He can be rough sometimes so we've been trying to work on being nice, especially with the cats.

[rootbeerfloat]

No. DD is more physical.

[VillainV]

C has two speeds -- STOP and GO. He is either going everywhere 100 miles a hour, or so tired that he wants to sit and snuggle.

[Queen Mamadala]

Yes, very physical.

[sewf]

Every. Single. Minute. Of the day. Like, since the womb. He is currently flipping around in bed, 45 minutes after bedtime.

[antoniamarchette]

Ds is nuts, so much energy! He is always running, climbing, wrestling with H. It will be interesting once ds2 is here and is old enough to play with him. I fear for my house!

[Deleted]

DS1 is 3 and no, he's a lover. He just wants to chill.
DS2 is 11 months and maybe? He's more mobile than DS1 was at this age but the verdict is still out.

[usuallylurking]

Yep. All 3. All the time.

[Willis Jackson]

7yo boy: constant motion
4.5yo girl: chill
21mo boy: middle of the road

[scribellesam]

Yes yes yes. DS1 (4yo) more than DS2 (19mo) but they're both very energetic and physical dudes.

this.  (he's currently watching TV while doing a headstand.  No, a cartwheel.  Another headstand.  etc....)

Trying to sit and watch tv with him is the worst. He'll be sitting here, now climbing over to there, now standing up on the couch, now jumping on the couch, now hanging off sideways, now climbing the arm....

[Brie]

Yes. C is always full speed, crashing around. He has some sensory issues but yeah. Human tornado.

I was hoping P would be my calm child and he is equally crazy.

I get lots of sympathetic looks in public .

[tcjmama]

Yes. Constant. One of the many reasons we moved to a house with three acres,

[luv2rn4fun]

C is 17 months and constantly moving. He never really even sat still when he was a baby and very rarely slows down to cuddle or chill. Lately it's all about climbing and getting into everything. He is also very rough and going through a pinching, hitting, and biting phase. Trying to teach him to be gentle but he just doesn't seem to get it yet. He's also very loud.

[bdubs419]

Absolutely.

My boys (3 and 16 months) are super high energy and very physical. Always climbing, wrestling, etc. They are crazy! But I assume it's pretty normal.

[pescalita]

Yes. The older one will veg with cartoons or tablet, but generally they are either on fire or sleeping.

[noodleskooze]

Leo jumps on our bed for about 30 minutes straight every day AFTER a full, active day at daycare.

I don't get it. Sometimes I skip my second cup of coffee because I'm too lazy to walk to the break room!

[ny96]

Yes, it's exhausting. He runs, jumps, climbs, pushes, nearly everything he does has a grand physical component to it.

[lilac05]

DS1's nickname from my Grandpa was NeverStops. He just never.stops. Thankfully, he's not really a climber or jumper (he's super cautious), but he is just always moving. DS2 is the same way.

I tell people if they're bothered by constant movement or noise, they probably should just not come to our house.

I've grown to love it. One day, my house will be quiet again...

[djc315]

Yes. He does not stop moving.

[Narwhal]

Yes. We were with a 12 month old boy and 2 toddler girls at the zoo this weekend and I was shocked that all 3 would walk with mom, sit in the stroller happily or be in the carrier happily. My boys are either asleep or running. They do love snuggles, but in 1-2 min increments.

[missmaddie]

DS is constantly moving. DD seems to be on the same path though lately. I'm tired.

[carolinagirl831]

Hmm I have 1 and 3 yr old girls.... And they are constantly doing this. Even wrestling all the time. I did not except that!

[meltoine]

Yes.
