Every parent of boys knows this hour. 😅
It's 4:30. Homework is "almost" done, someone has jumped off the couch twice, and someone else is narrating a very loud battle in the hallway.
The energy isn't bad behavior. It's just a lot, and it has to go somewhere.
So we point them to the backyard. Shoes barely on, straight to the trampoline, 45 minutes of flips, belly bounces, and games with rules only they understand.
When they come inside, they're flushed, hungry, and (for a little while) calm. Bedtime is easier. Everyone wins.
What's the one thing your boy can't stop bouncing off of? 👇
