"Stand still, like a statue."

JJ is a very active kid, he can't sit still for a moment (much like me at that age).

it requires more training :)
Both my kids are pretty active - Jason especially so. It is a very difficult balancing act between imposing some order and discipline on the child (and possibly stifling the child) and allowing the child to freely express themselves. Let's face it, my kids aren't active because they are bad, it is because they have a wonderful energy and a million things going throw their mind at once.
hyper children have extreme physical and mental abilities..
being still are two kinds;
having their own world,or they have sufficient skill to focus on things.
barbara: this was not a control sort of request. It was practical. JJ has eczema and this necessiates about 20 minutes of applying creams (medicated and moisturizing) to his skin in the morning and at night. Trying to apply them while he is wriggling like a fish out of water is very trying. He may stay in one spot, but decide that he will run in that spot. So he bounces up and down on his bed. I will try to tell him to be still ike a bee drinking nectar and see what effect that has.
MOI: he is 5 and active. I have no problem with it, it just can be trying sometimes. He also has inherited my tendency to mentally mentally jump about as well.
