@Kristinatx9 We have 2 boys, several years older than yours, so here is my advice. Please forgive my assumptions.
Â
First, it sounds like your son needs to get outside and do some excercise. He is 4, past the toddler stage and his body/muscles need to do something. We would spend hours at the playground. the boys would love to climb, go down slides, try the monkey bars and all those good things. As any parent of boys will tell you is that if you put a ball in front of a boy 99% will drop whatever they are doing and play with that ball. So if you get bored of the playground go play catch with him outside. My boys loved those cheapo giant rubber balls you see at walmart. Play cath with him, let him kick it etc. Other excercise ideas: swimming, bike, walk through the woods. Try a rec soccer league like Alliance. A good hour or two of excercie will burn off all that energy that is in his muscles then he will be ready to play legos, cars etc.
Â
Second, limit all sugar. We never gave our boys soda and we limited their candy intake (heck, Halloween candy would last a year. They would only get sugars from fruits, juices and the occasional posicle.
Â
TV:Â Limited.
Video Games: Just those leapfrog games.
Â
Not to insult your intelligence, but not two kids are alike and boys are different than girls. Lastly, boys are like puppies, they just need their excercise.
