What do you do to channel your toddlers energy?? What activities do they do inside? We have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. We live in an upstairs apartment so we don’t have a yard to let them play in. Our three year old has always had so much energy and loves to jump and bounce and run and dance. Yes all normal for a toddler but we live upstairs and it shakes the building when she jumps. (I would say when her energy is too high but really her energy is normal it’s just the building that makes it seem like she’s too much). Anyway, my husband especially gets on her about being too loud and jumping or running too much. I do too but I try not to be too harsh becasue she’s only 3 but we usually remind her why, because it’s loud for the neighbors and we have to be courteous. It saddens me that she can’t play like she wants to and jump around like a frog or a rabbit.

For people who have kids in an upstairs apartment. What do you guys do? Do you let kids be kids? Or do you tell them to quiet down? What do you have them do instead to use their energy? For people who live downstairs or next door to people with young children, do loud children annoy you?
