How do you maintain a routine with a highly energetic child who cannot sit still?

Lesson while standing. We got a high table and he stands for all his work. Output improved immediately.

Movement breaks timed to a visual timer. Five minutes work, two minutes movement. The break is guaranteed, not earned.

Outdoor first. One hour outside before any academic work. The physical expenditure has transformed our mornings.

Hands-on curriculum only. Abandoned all seat work and moved to Montessori materials, nature study and oral narration.
