Running and Exercise...
Quote From: marana4344Usually, if they have had enough of the right kind exercise, they get tired (swinging, bike riding, running). One on one time reading or talking helps before bed. I used to also feed mine oatmeal (homemade with milk) and let them play in a warm bath. Benedryl works and is not habit forming, and I use it myself. I have a little boy that turned 5 last September. In the Spring of 2005, I had signed him up for baseball, and soccer not even thinking about the two overlapping (the sign up time was late enough that I didn't think they would overlap), but it ended up that he was practicing several times during the week, and when games started, they were several days a week. Sometimes he would play a soccer game, I'd take him to the truck and change uniforms and go play a baseball game. What amazed me, was even after all this, he would still not go to bed until 11 or so at night. I would be tired, but he would be wide open... I've just had to learn that he is one that doesn't require as much sleep as others do. Another thing I've learned is that he will only play one sport at a time... :-)
