It's about a 5-10 minute walk for me, so definitely burns off some energy for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-energetic-free-spirit#post-1905957 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 10:23:37 +0000 bushelandapeck 1905957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We definitely get out of the house as much as we can. Some days we are at the park in the mornng and then again after nap. He does SO much better if he's able to get his energy out. It's proving to be difficult with a newborn but everyone is much happier when DS is able to use some of that energy. We make it a priority everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-energetic-free-spirit#post-1905940 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 10:04:55 +0000 petunia354 1905940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to the park at least 1x day, sometimes more on weekends! Lots of walks. He definitely seems happier and less restless when we are out of the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-energetic-free-spirit#post-1905900 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 09:22:09 +0000 BandDmommy 1905900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: that's what I've noticed as well! He does much better if we are out of the house a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-energetic-free-spirit#post-1905898 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 09:18:20 +0000 sarac 1905898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I embrace and encourage it. We're loud, boisterous people. We do a lot of jumping, chasing, running, squealing. I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-energetic-free-spirit#post-1905893 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 09:09:30 +0000 loveisstrange 1905893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of play time, lots of walks and park visits, getting out of the house as much as possible. She always does better and sleeps better when we dont spend all day in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-energetic-free-spirit#post-1905892 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 09:09:19 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1905892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got a climber for the back yard...directing some of that energy in the direction of something meant to be climbed on, instead of the furniture! :) that way we can get outside multiple times a day. Lots of push toys too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-energetic-free-spirit#post-1905886 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 08:50:17 +0000 Anutka 1905886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're super lucky to have a 30 acre forest in our neighbourhood with trails. I let her go wild in there.</p> <p>My LO needs fresh air everyday, usually multiple times, otherwise it's tantrum central and she won't sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-energetic-free-spirit#post-1905882 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 08:32:10 +0000 Applesandbananas 1905882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of free play. We have a playroom that's child proofed and he just goes nuts in there. We do a lot of park visits too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-energetic-free-spirit#post-1905879 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 08:21:15 +0000 BandDmommy 1905879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you deal with all the energy? Lots of park visits? My son is almost 2.5 and tons of fun but a LOT of energy. </p>
