About Me
I view homeschooling as a natrual way of life and I try to lead my life this way as I feel God has called me to do this. Children are a Gift from God.

Homeschooling is a natural way of life

Boys will be Boys??

Hello again,

I have a question for you all. I have three children, Jazmine who is 9, Dyllan who is 6, and Isaiah who is 2. As you can see two of them are boys. I was one of two girls, so raising boys have been a new experience for me.  Sometimes I just want to pull my hair out because of the way they behave. One minute they are fighting, and the next they are best friends. In the store they are always trying to chase and get eachother making all sorts of noise and tripping and hurting eachother. ( sometimes on accident). At home they seem like they are always making noise and running around. They never want to just sit and play quietly, unless I sit with them. I can not always do this as I am trying to run a house. I love my boys very much but it seems like they are always noise, messy, and sometimes just down right mean to eachother and those around them. Some one once told me that the best thing for boys is to just lock them outside first thing in the morning and then let them back in at night. She said to me boys need lots of room to run and play. I have a small place and a small yard in a nieghborhood. Not really the best place for boys. Also I have learned that it was not this bad with just one boy. It seems to be worse now that there are two of them.

Anyone have any tips or have the same experiences?

I don't have any sage words of wisdom for you because my situation is VERY SIMILAR to yours. The oldest of two girls, my first born a girl and number 2 and 3 are boys, very small house and yard. My boys are very active and am having similar issues. So while I can't help, know that you aren't alone in your plight

I think it IS a boy thing. My youngest 3 are boys, and it seems they are just naturally noisier, messier, and WAY more active than girls. My two youngest are very close in age, and they are either the best of friends or worst of enemies. Usually they are the best of friends, but when they fight, they really fight. They do seem to need to be allowed to have room to run, to be active. Lots of steam to burn. If you don't have the room, perhaps you can find active things to do indoors, a mini-trampoline, simon says just make sure the commands are active like running in place or doing jumping jacks, things like that. Long nature walks daily may help. Just some thoughts. But rest assured, your not alone in this, and your boys sound like perfectly normal boys.
Blessings

I have three boys, and they behave EXACTLY as you describe. There's ALWAYS a rumble in my house! LOL! and yes, there are days I am pulling my hair out and at a loss at how to handle their antics. and yes, they still are a blessing! When you find what works, PLEASE TELL US! (((((HUGS))))) sandi
