Not all active kids have SI issues. My son was born with a mildly twisted neck (so mild that the paeds couldn't detect), and that hindered the smooth neural transmission between the brain and the rest of his body, especially to & from his joints (hence he has trouble feeling his body, hence unable to sit still or sit properly). He easily gets sea sick and hated swinging for more than a minute.

After two weeks of therapy (at around age 2+) he was able to, for the first time, pay attention to his soccer coach's instructions and completed a simple routine (instead of running wild around the gym). It was the first time i actually realize what i was doing (taking him to a therapist!) was not stupid. After 1/2 year of therapy one of our neighbour swore that he was a different boy, and now, after a year of therapy he has calmed down a lot, able to focus better to complete school tasks (as a K1 student). He still has a shorter attention span compared with kids his age, but it is already a great improvement.

Again, i don't think most boys has SI, but all sensorimotor play is very beneficial for young children.

妳兒子有感統問題是否經常赤腳跳以腳板感覺刺激大腦獲得快感?

Oh 感統 comes in different shape & sizes. He like going bare feet but not too out of line compared with other kids his age. He loves to slam into me to get sensory input and enjoys a good tickle all over his body. When I took him to art jam, he's the only kid who painted his own face with acrylic paint (a thick streak running across his eye lid too, it was a bit alarming). All in all he was a fun kid to be with though, and the therapists do encourage lots of jumping. (And rolling and swinging and climbing).

Toddlers are toddlers, it is perfectly normal for them to be very active in this phase.  And it seems that you are already giving your son plenty of opportunities to expend his energy each day.  So what is your son doing that causes you to be concerned?
I agree with [size=11.818181991577148px]jolalee that reading books may not help improve his behavior/manner at this young age.  My girl is a bit younger than your boy is, and I've found it most useful to teach by example.  For example, to teach her to say and use "please" and "thank you" properly, I not only "ordered" her to say those words, I also purposely emphasized those two words whenever I spoke with my mom or the helpers, and very soon she had picked up the habit of saying "please" and "thank you" from me.  When she misbehaves, I immediately tell her "No" and ensure that she stops doing whatever that I don't want her to do.

Funny story, one day my girl suddenly started putting her finger up her nostril.  I wondered where she picked that up from, as no one at home and no kid in the playgroup did such a thing.  Then I saw a Chinese book titled "Manner" in her room, with the first page showing a kid picking his nose.  Obviously my MIL bought that book with the intention to "advance teach" my girl proper manner, but toddlers are "monkey sees monkey learns", and after one read the "key takeaway" for my girl was to pick her nose... it took me a day to correct that, and the book is now banned from my home.
  


Btw, I found this site to be useful in understanding the developmental milestones of toddlers:

當我的小朋友2-3歲時, 我買過一套台灣出的書 "亮亮的成長 Something About Vicky" , 內容是圍繞主角亮亮發生的事, 教小朋友要分享, 有愛心, 懂得管理情緒等, 這套書有出中英雙語版, 雖然英文寫得不是很好, 但作為教導良好品德的故事書, 這套算不錯, 起碼我的小朋友肯聽, 故事也算有趣!

另外說起 Mr Men & Little Miss 系列, 我以前在英國訂書網 "thebookpeople" 購買, 比香港平很多, 發現該網最近加了international shipping 服務, 大家可以試試:

Mr Men and Little Miss are really good, so funny with something to learn about, I use to love watching the cartoon on TV when I was young. My daughter said they have them in their classroom book corner as well, must read for kids （adults too）!

My younger son is also v v active, non-stop.  When he was about the age of your boy, he kept dancing with the music (a V-tech toy). He loves story very much. Even now, he is still non-stop. My way to keep him sit down is reading stories, one after one ... if it is short stories, can last for ten.... you may try...:)

兒子愛交朋友，大小不拘，已經毎日都去play house or playground交友放電，風雨不改，日間玩得夠，晚上自然就好睡了° by the way，妳兒子有感統問題是否經常赤腳跳以腳板感覺刺激大腦獲得快感?

嘻嘻，看來真的很累! 太累了，讓傭人或家人照顧孩子一會兒，回到家𥚃，孩子覺得媽媽新鮮了，媽媽又覺得孩子依賴得窩心，可以跟他分享所見之人，事，景。有點像講故事了。

晚點上了學，朋友多了，各式各樣的新物事還等著呢！孩子長大得很快，好好享受啊 :)

I had the same problem with my boy too (and he has sensory integration issues 感覺統合). From expert consultants from his school, the teacher encouraged us to find him activities he is really interested in, and provide about 4 toy options at a time only around the house to improve his concentration (and rotate his toys once in a while).
Is he sleeping well at night? If not, a daily visit to the playground would help with good rest ;)

是的，只要有街去、有得玩、有新面孔、新玩意、新事物定能安靜下來紳士上身，所以應該冇ADHA的，但喺邊到成日揾咁多新鮮嘢玩?! Sorry....out of the topic....anyway...thanks for sharing

Already planed to go library tomorrow, definitely will try to search the books above. Many thanks!

jolalee

There's a lot of Mr Men & Little Miss series in the public library. No need to wait, just go borrow a few!!

Boys are from Mars, cannot be compared with girls. Yes, 19 months is totally active. Don't label him as 曳 in front of him, it can become a self-fulfilling prophesy. Just call it as it is: 好動。

As this age i really am not sure how much book reading done by him can help with his conduct. Direct positive discipline would be more effective. Here's some books for you

Raising Boys - Steve Biddulph
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Steve-Bi ... anced/dp/0007153694

Positive Discipline for Preschoolers - Dr. Jane Nelsen
http://www.positivediscipline.com/

Boundaries With Kids - Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend

買書就兩個都可以一齊睇了，佢兩個都喜歡"聽"連續性的故事，女兒同時喜歡自己讀，所以要選有文字的同時又有追看性的
