So for the parents, uncles and aunties here, is there any specific fun and educational activities you can recommend for a very active little toddler girl? This is for my daughter, she is one of those very active toddlers constantly on the move, sometimes very loud when she doesn't get her way.

What do you do for fun with your kids? also when they misbehave how do you discipline them?

I often give her timeouts to calm down and stay quite, but she then screams "I am quite now", obviously not understanding the irony of what she is doing.

For fun, I take her to the park to run around, and am considering taking her swimming during summer. The play groups I find are not stimulating enough for her, sometimes it's like she's miles ahead of the other toddlers, watering plants and generally investigating everything in her path, at the same time taking things from the other kids and trying to start conversations with the parents. She never sits still when the nursery nurse starts group singing and starts singing and dancing int he middle of the class

man they are a headache, a while ago i took my siblings to the kids play ground. dammit, was worse day of my life. i was scared to loose them and worse they need to go washrooms more often!! on top of that the other kids yelling too.

Hyperactive tell me about it, they have so much energy it's hard to keep up with them. People would stop drinking Coffee if they could bottle up that youthful energy and sell it as a beverage.

Allaho walidken ha 3adabin. i guess your appriciate your parents more once you are a parent.

Ilaahay ha ku daayo sxb .. My boy is very active nd energetic too, I usually take him to parks or playgrounds nd let him run all day till he gets tired. As for how to discipline her, my boy Hates to go to bed so if everytime he acts up I tell him he is going to bed then he stops lol do what ever works for you but dnt give in to her! Let her cry it out, teach her that her action has consequences. Sometimes tough love is needed.

She is hyper because habeenkii aad dhalaysay waxaad ilawday ducadii: allahumajnib shaydaana wajnib shaydaana maarasaqtanaa. Adigoo mirqaansan baad dhashay. Kaxaaxaabi hee. Don't forget that duca for the next one. Tan sidaan baad udaba ordi doontaa inta ay kakorayso xoogaa.

Sumu for what it is worth I actually did read that duca during the time she was conceived. I make it a point to read that duca every time we try for a kid, that is why my son was also born with that duca.

Also I am not an odey, I'm 30.

Bluelion ameen sxb , and you are right, you have to stick to your guns with punishing them, otherwise they will not take you seriously.

Ameen, walidka waxay naga soo mareen dhib badan. Ilaahay Janna ha siiyo ameen,

When it comes to discipline girls are harder than boys but I don't hit my kids unless it's something dangerous like running in the street
