my 4 year old is the same way. she doesnt tak naps anymore but she is totally wild at times. to the point where she can't even hear me. My doctor said its normal but to watch for adhd. although they are young. do you control her sugar? that has alot to do with it also. my daughter can not have anything red. it sends her rocketing.

Maybe try putting her in some activities that will get rid of all of that energy, I have my daughter in Jazz class and ice skating, also she loves to ride her bike. I really do not think putting kids on medication becasue they have a personallity or lots of energy is good AT ALL.

Most three year old children are VERY active. I agree with Tamberly... enroll your child in a gymnastics or dance class. And daily trips to the park would probably be a good idea too.

Does your daughter ever sit for more than a few minutes at a time? Can she settled down for a book or puzzle? Sometimes, children need to practice sitting for short periods of time. But if it's something you're deeply concerned about, I would recommend speaking to your pediatrician.

thanks for the advice, yes, she sits very well alone with books and puzzels, so know she can.. I enrolled her in dance class, but she is not ready for that, she is very shy and has a hard time so I don't want to force her.. I make sure she plays outside as much as the weather permits, and I am just now working on changing her diet, less snacks and less sugar!
