All little children have loads of energy: people just treat it differently for girls and boys, and thus train them to behave differently. The trick is to include time every day to drain some of the energy off: a long walk, or trip to a park, or, running around outside, or similar. You may need two big de-bounces a day, especially if they're excited. You treat it as an essential part of the day, like meals, and make sure you have wellies and suitable waterproof/warm clothes so you never need to stay in on account of rain. It can be incorporated into a trip to the shops. Puddlesuits are amazing: the child can play in the park, go down the slide, roll in the grass, when everything's sopping wet, and you just zip it off when you get home. It is worth spending less on other clothes so you can afford appropriate outdoor play clothes, if possible.

Children are full of energy so that they can do stuff all day: give them energetic stuff to do, or they'll never be able to sit still. And you're fooling yourself if you think little girls have less energy!

oh god yes. as the eldest of six siblings, I can attest to this since I've had to babysit my little sisters throughout my life.
