Has No Life - Lives on TB
My six year old grandson is having a slight problem in school. He is a very active kid and I figured there would be issues when he got to school full day. The boy lives to run and loves to jump off of anything that he can climb. He learned to ride a bike in a day and only has two speeds on it...stop and as fast as his little legs can pump the pedals. And that is great but when it comes to sitting in school and listening to the teacher teach, he really struggles. His teacher understands his issues and tries to help him as much as possible. We just found out that he also has a mild hearing loss in one ear. I really don't want them to medicate the boy out of him, but I do understand that some people struggle a lot with this and medication is a great help. Anyway, I believe that my daughter is wanting to try caffeine with him to see if it will calm him down a bit but is having a problem finding something that he might drink without a ton of sugar. Coffee and tea would be great but there aren't too many six year olds that will drink it black! Can anyone suggest something palatable to a six year old?
As it stands now, the boy comes home from daycare and has to run full speed on the treadmill for 15-20 minutes and he's good for maybe 20 minutes of homework time. But then the energy just starts to bubble up again!
