L.A.
I am the one that is responding with "quiet and calm dinner and then bath"..
Remember these are usually responses for the parents having a hard time getting their children to go to bed and to go to sleep.
SOME children, not all, can take a long time to transition form hyper play to calm enough to get settled and start to relax. They get all riled up and cannot become calm or realize that has now stopped.
Some children do not realize the cues that it is time to settle down.. and so you start the process earlier and it sets their systems to quiet and calm.
I also suggest these parents with these children keep their voices low and calm. To use a little warmer water and to use the wash cloth to really rub their children.. like a massage. Wears them out..
Some children also can be easily distracted by other household sounds and begin to think they are missing out on some fun activity.. So turning off or lowering the cell phone and the conversations, turning down or off the TV.. will also help them think.. there is nothing else going on..
Again these are just some children.
