Those of you with kids with behavioral disorders probably know the worst punishment you can bestow on your kids and yourself is to take away their physical play time. We try VERY hard to make taking away playing outside and running around Zach's last punishment because if he doesn't get to work off that extra energy it creates more behavioral problems.
Some of the activities I keep on hand for the kids for outside are long and shallow Rubbermaid bins, one with rice, and one filled with beans, a sand and water table, water balloons for the hot days, plenty of differently shaped and textured balls, frisbees, and plenty of sidewalk chalk.You don't have to spend a fortune, just get the kids outside and let them run some of their extra energy off.

God does not give us more than we can handle. He gave us His special children because He knew that we would be able to handle them and give them all the love and support they need through the hard times and the happy, yet stressful times.He believes in us; we can do it! Our children need us. Take a deep breath, sit back and know that through these times we are not alone; He is always just a prayer away.

hey! I didn't know you were here! I am on an SPD rampage right now in my real, non bloggy life, that I am just now getting to SPD blogs.
Have you read Spinning Yellow? I'm not sure of the url, but you can probably get there by googling.
I'm glad I came across this blog. My son has SPD. He's always on the go.
He has a lot of things that you've listed. He loves playing with frisbees but he has low muscle tone so it never goes very far which can get frustrating to him.
