A big walk everyday, a trampoline, a swim. Anything to get rid of the excess energy. I notice a big difference in Bryns behaviour when he is physically worn out :) http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/535569/5-year-old-boys//#535925 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/535569/5-year-old-boys//#535925 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 13:32:31 -0700 Re: 5 year old boys vlooi Why don't you look at his diet? Too much sugar or additives can cause this. Look long and carefully at what you give him to eat. fresh fruit, veg and no or few additives might help. http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/535569/5-year-old-boys//#535807 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/535569/5-year-old-boys//#535807 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 11:14:42 -0700 Re: 5 year old boys bunny07 well my three year old had gone through this phase some months back but five year old is a bit too old phases so from what i understand i think you should start ignoring him. when everybody in the household start ignoring his tantrum he will realise that its not having an effect so he will stop it by himself.. ... http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/535569/5-year-old-boys//#535641 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/535569/5-year-old-boys//#535641 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 04:44:44 -0700 Re: 5 year old boys Ngairi It sounds like you need to enforce the art of ignorance. If he starts yelling or throwing a tantrum, try saying in a calm voice, I will not listen to you when you scream, talk to me when you are quiet and I will listen to you, turn your back and walk away. When he is calm, then you talk ...
I have 3 very loud boys, ranging from 6 to 16. I am also a very loud person, but my kids know if I go quiet, then the proverbial is gonna hit the fan if they don't behave in a reasonable manner. I do a lot of yelling and yes I do smack my kids if they are misbehaving but it is not often.

Hopethis helps a little bit.
