Yesterday, Little Jen got cranky cause I told him to play just outside the house. He could cycle, skate or do some gardening but he was not happy. He wanted to go to the playground.
So, today, we did visit the playground. Got off work on time, prepared dinner and filled them all up. It was playground time thereafter and it lasted for about 45 minutes Within that period of time, Little Jen did all below:
First, he cycled around.
Second, he toyed with his new Chinese diablo aka Chinese yo-yo. I was quite amazed at how fast he picked up some basic skills on his own via You Tube videos and was soon having some fun with it. By the way, I got him a new set (in fact 3 sets in total with 2 as spare sets...) as he sort of broke his first set. He was so excited and said, "Wow, Mummy... this is like the one professionals play with...!" with a wide smile on his mischievous face.
Third, he went home and came back with his roller skates. He was getting bored and needed to move on to a new activity.
Finally, he sat down and started chit chatting with some older boys at the playground.
To me, it was little time but he managed to take the opportunity to do so much. HE ALMOST MOVED ALL HIS 'TOYS' TO THE PLAYGROUND!
As I am writing this close to our bedtime, he is watching TV while bouncing on the gym ball.
What do I do with his super high energy level? He is not that hyperactive type but he will just be on the move most of the time. I rarely see him idling by doing nothing or just dreaming blankly.
As long as he is happy, I believe he will grow up to be a independent fella with loads of positive thoughts despite his ADHD-ness. 👽
