For the same reason you get wore out at work, but can party till dawn! It stands to reason when you are having fun, your adrenaline is flowing and your body responds in kind. Shopping can be boring for adults also. Children's attention spans are much shorter than an adults (normally), and hanging out next to Mom, or sitting in an uncomfortable steel seat penned in so to speak, and doing nothing but wait is not anyone's idea of fun. Ask, yourself if this is a necessary trip or will it take hours of searching stores to find what you want. If it's going to be an all day affair, pick a day when daddy can watch the kids and go out with a friend shopping.  If you want to have fun with the kids and keep their interest, keep it short, buy what you need, and if you have some spare change get them a small treat.  If you learn to make each shopping trip a small adventure, where they are included in the excitement, shopping with kids is loads of fun, and everyone enjoys the trip. I am a Mother of 5, (when 4 of them were small they ranged in age from newborn to 6, and I was 22 years old).  I am now grandparent to 14, (2 of which I care for because both parents work outside the home), and 5 great grandchildren.  I am 70 years old, and take two 2 year olds shopping with me, and we have a wonderful learning experience, and lots of laughs. Enjoy your children, if they get tired, promise them you are going home soon, and then they can all take a nice nap. The word nap usually perks them up for awhile. ;-)\nHope this helped a little bit.  Sunnydazed59

You can if you are sprinting and straining to run your fastest. But, it would be strange for a child to have this type of problem. Athletes who are constantly trying to develop their abilities tend to have these types injuries. Kids don't usually strain muscles by just running.

To get more energy. If you don't you will get in Sleep debt. Also your brain, reflexes, and body would not do as good. When you are in sleep debt you have to sleep more to get back on track. Also the recommended hours of sleep are 8 to 9 hours.\n\nFor kids they need 10 to 11 hours of sleep.\nAlso Dr. Know (from TV) did tests on a lab rat (Not a rat but a human) by forcing them to only get 4 hours of sleep each night and did a test a found out their reflexes were slowing, their memory test wasn't as good, and when they recovered (pay their sleep debt) they did better.

Well I don't know where you live, but the reason our school doesn't have RECESS, is because the teachers who are supposed to monitor the classes while they are outside (which by the way is for only 10 minutes, after lunch) say that it's too hot for them. The only outside time our children get is during P.E. when they run laps. They actually have no free play time at our school. The thing in a nutshell is the monitors are lazy. Our children are not allow to talk during lunch either. Then they wonder why the students are misbehaving in class. Too much pent up energy!!!! It is absolutely Idiotic!!!!

It sounds like she's talking about how fast the novelty wears off something new and fun. From a mom's point of view, I can say this is absolutely a true statement. When you buy a child a new toy for example, they want to play with it night and day a first. They more you allow them to play with it, the faster the novelty wears off. This is also true with new friends, new activities, etc. My husban calls it "Wearing the goody off" or "Wearing the new off."\n\nWhy? It seems pretty obvious why it happens. The more they play with something, the less interesting it becomes, and the less they want to play with it.

Yes there is. We need to get kids more active. Kids spend too much time watching TV and playing video games. They should spend more time playing outside. Fast food is also a problem, it is high in fat with little nutrition.

It is because of the less energy in your body . You might be doing hard work during the day and wouldn,t be having sufficient diet and exericise according to your age .

Exhaustion.  Some people go around sleep deprived almost all the time.  It catches up with people sometimes in a kind of rote going-through-the-motions state.

That's odd. It could just be that the kids' parents didn't know who lived at your house so they didn't let their kids stop. It could also be a problem with location. If you live in a bad or dark part of town or on the outskirts or something, your place could have just been out of the trick or treater's way. \n\nDid you have your lights on? Thats another contributing factor.

Kids aren't as active any more like they used to be.  Computers, tv, games, and many parents working seem to contribute quite a bit.  Even schools that have PE in them, the kids don't do too much any more.  They used to play basketball, baseball, run track....\nAs the fitness director at the club where I work, I watched a video by the National Center for Disease Control.  They are saying that for the first time in history, the generation under mine (I'm 53) will be unhealthier than their parents, because of all the inactivity, and bad eating habits.  They say kids are going to be getting diabetes sooner, heart disease sooner, osteoporosis sooner, high blood pressure sooner, you name it, and this generation coming up will get sick sooner.(This is the teenagers now, and the generation under them. Their brothers and sisters)\nOne of the things that has really impacted this generation is the trend of dieting.  Many of the kids have stopped drinking milk, which makes the inside of the bone material grow, and they will develop stooped over posture because of it, fractured hips, broken bones.Eliminating meat is causing a big lack of protein as well... I won't go on, but you get the idea huh!\n We in the fitness industry know kids are unhealthy, and we're doing all that we can to help!  We just ran "the biggest loser" contest, and I have a 12 yr. old doing the program now.  Anyway sorry to go on and on, I hope some of this information helps....

kids need to be kids - they dont need to be forced to play sports - there is nothing wrong with allowing them to run around in the yard, if you have a basket ball hoop on your garage thats cool too... but when you divide into teams and make it "sports" its just wrong... let your kids be kids for a chance..\n\ngo for a walk

Well it seems you assume that everyone who restricts their kids' time on the internet is worried about what they will do or see there. How about this? Kids should GO OUTSIDE or PLAY WITH REAL PEOPLE THEY CAN SEE instead of spending all their time in front of a computer, or TV, or video games, their only interaction being with someone else's created fantasy and anonymous 'chat buddies' who can lie all they want. This teaches children nothing about social interaction with PEOPLE, gets them no exercise, and does nothing for their minds. I limited my kids because I wanted them doing something other than sitting on their asses staring at pixels all the time. When my kids were young, they got 1 hour TV a day, and 30 minutes on the computer. They spend more time with both these days, but they also spend a lot of time playing with real people and reading. That's how I want it to be. When they grow up, they can sit in front of the screen 24/7 if they want to, but somehow I don't think they will.

One of my children is one of those kids that thrives on excelling.  She has never brought home less than an A ever.  She also participates in dance (4 classes a week) plays the viola in the Orchestra,  and has been a member of Girl Scouts for 9 years.  She has also played softball and basketball.  She is an avid reader and is in bed nightly between 9-9:30 up at 6am M-F.   If she could sleep until 10 or 11am she would be overjoyed.  She is her own worst critic and demands excellence from herself.  She has a group of friends at school that are all equally amazing...and none of them ever get into trouble.  I have no idea where she gets "it" from....and I worry sometimes about the amount of pressure she puts on herself.   I guess only time will tell.  But to be honest I do watch her closely for signs of stress or "over doing"  and I do try to make sure there are at least two days a week that are "free" from activities so she (and the rest of us mear mortals) can relax.
