HELP Need Advice My Son Is Jumping on His Bed Before Bed Uncontrollably!!!

Hmmm...well, I like the tent idea but I'm not sure about the food issue. Our daughter doesn't really eat a lot of surgery foods especially before bed. We could do all the calming routines in the book but once she sees the bed and has her books she gets on top and runs/jumps all the way to the pillows. We've tried the walking out method too but even though it helps in that moment it doesn't seem to solve the problem long term.
Our daughter loves books so she knows if she's misbehaving we tell her we won't read books until she has calmed down. This seems to help and maybe getting some new books would help or distract him too. (maybe sound ones) It's hard once they get used to do something (bad or good) to break that habit.
Good luck!

Turn his bed into a tent/fort - create a nice ENCLOSED space for him to sleep in that feels like a cuddly, warm fortress. You can easily do this with even a sheet or blanket strung up over his bed, maybe 18-24" above the bed. Make sure it's low enough that he CAN'T jump on the bed anymore. With any luck this will transfer the fun of jumping to the fun of being in a fort. I would enlist his help in designing and building it so he feels like it's really his.

Good luck!

have you tried holding him so he CAN'T jump on the bed? If it's bedtime and storytime seems like the perfect time for some cuddle time too. Keeps him from jumping on the bed and getting hyped up.

If that doesn't work ... try taking away the things he likes during the day. For every jump on the bed one minute of TV time, or one minute of video game time, or whatever.

And last but not least there's simply holding him down so he can't jump.

Whatever option you choose though be consistant with it.

Hi K.. The only thing I can think of is to be very vigilant about his diet. IT might be good to scrub out anything too sugary, and anything with any artificial additives, some of which have been proven to cause hyperactivity in kids. You could also try giving him a natural calming tea before bed. They aren't addictive but they could be a nice ritual to get him quiet for the night. (camomile and some other nice herbs really do make a difference.) Good luck!
