We have been told that the boy we want to adopt is hyper, always on the go, but after we sent them our video the cw told us that J may seem a little calm in comparison to our younger dd. She is my super fast foward child. I have been able to taylor their education to suit their active charactors, and was able to teach them to sit for sunday school and church, but it was a process. I will say that as soon as the preacher is done praying they are out the door and running.

I always kept my hands going with writing as a teen. I used to rewrite my school notes, draw pictures, color in coloring books, work in puzzle books(word searches, etc.) I could also take them on the go. Perhaps these may work for your dd. It will also keep her mind thinking. Hope this helps.
