Actually, when it comes to pent-up frustrations, I have to say that the winner was the day I went to pick up my son from kindergarten. He and his cousin wanted to go to the playground out back for a few minutes. Sure, no problem. We went over there with all the other kids from his class. Let me tell you, they were franticly bouncing all over each other. I knew something was wrong. Every parent was watching the mayhem, keeping an eye on all of the kids.
Turns out that they had a substitute that day who made them sit in their seats the entire day. No real activity.
Sometimes when they are too hyper I take my grandkids to Burger King. I let them run and climb while I do paperwork or read. They just have all this excess energy that they need to burn off.
There are drugs to control that now.
