How We Cope

OK...I've made it no secret to those who know me, how energetic Turner is.  We've have no official diagnosis but I have no doubt if we did, we'd have a boy with some sort of clinical diagnosis.  ADHD????  High energy, kinesthetic learner????? 

We are not going to have him tested now.  Maybe never.  Maybe someday.  It is/will be our decision and we will make it when we are ready.

For now, this is how we cope.
1.  Limit sugar. 
2.  Lots of outdoor play and running around.
3.  Lots of Wii activities, so he's moving and coordinating his movements.
4.  Soccer.  Lots of running. 
5.  Riding his bike
In other words....lots and lots of physical activity
and last but not least.....

What's that you ask?   Why it's a tube sock filled with rice, of course!   My aunt makes them so that you can microwave it and have yourself a portable heating pad.  That is NOT what we do with it though.  On good days, we can put it in Turner's lap and it helps him to sit still and concentrate on his work.   On bad days, we drape it over his shoulders for a little extra sensory feedback.  Today was a bad day.

That's it!!!
