do u have very active kid's

I have 2 children’s and they’re very active, they love’s to play and run, they also likes watching T.V such like (sponge bob and Dora the explorer) and sometimes it really make me feel tired and drained. I was thinking to buy some educational videos for my children’s because they love animation.

Hi ya,rileys a speedy lil man,keeps me on me toes,his 2 and also loves the t.v.He loves the number jacks which i think is good watching for kids but he will also watch all the other stuff.I try to stop him watching the t.v. alot by having some book time,i turn off the t.v. and let him choose a book and get him to say some of the words.His favourite book is Mr crcok as it has sliding bits and pop up,it keeps him amused(not for long tho)I have a few educational dvds(freebies on mags)he wasn't much intrested and just played with his cars at the time,mind you i havent put them on since(worth a go again i think).I think anything is worth a try once.xx

Hi new to the forum I have a two and a half year old son and I truly believe he is mad!!!!! He will not stay still for two seconds He eats good diet only the odd bit of chocolate he goes to playgroup he doesnt nap in the day and hasnt since he was about one and a half but still he keeps going I dont know where he gets his energy from any ideas on trying to calm him down would be great .

Hi there,
Yes, I have one of those 'active' children that everyone talks about. He is 2 years old and doesn't stop from 6 in the morning to 8 at night. Occassionally I get a wee nap mid afternoon but not always.

When it comes to TV there is only 1 programme that will keep his attention for longer than 5 minutes. That is the 'Doodlebops'. I think the reason that he loves them so much is because they play music all the way through and he can sing and dance to it. It is the only way that I can get peace long enough to have a shower or straighten my hair.
