I am a K-3 Reading Interventionist starting my 26th year of teaching, so I can tell you all about lil boys and all the energy they have! Trampolines, mud holes, and frogs are a good start! My boy is now 24, but he still loves all that stuff.<br />hugs,<br />taraTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548067312851612313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29520568901907171.post-46436626120136994262010-08-31T16:39:34.977-05:002010-08-31T16:39:34.977-05:00You have inspired me to get a trampoline and start...You have inspired me to get a trampoline and start a mud pit! :)sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05439305584795731097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29520568901907171.post-7877478251418294842010-08-30T23:33:37.114-05:002010-08-30T23:33:37.114-05:00Ooo, I love boys.

I often say to my husband, "The boys need some hungh time." (you know, that sound they make when flexing muscles like a muscle man). "They need some testosterone worn right out of them!" So he'll wrestle, or kick them out to run around, or swim. You're so right, they need to move. <br /><br />Okay, things I've learned - or just know from living w/ so many - about boys: <br /><br />1. They need to feel productive. They need a job that is there responsibility, even if it's just the lunch dishes.<br />2. They need to feel important. Ask them to lock the doors at night & mention how much you appreciate their protection. Ask them to pick up bugs and carry groceries. They'll feel chivalrous.<br />3. They need to feel in control of something. Even if it's just a cat or a toad. <br /><br />Love the topic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
