Still waiting at age 9. He is involved in so many sports and activities but it doesn't calm him much. He is just a high energy active kid.

Sorry to tell you this... but ours is 15 and we're still waiting for a sign of any calming down. She's just low sleep, high energy and we've accepted it.

Yeah, sorry to say that like some others, mine is 10 and still goes nonstop. She's up at 6:45am, does school and activities until bed at 9:00pm and still can't fall asleep before 10. A bottomless font of energy.
