Anyone else have a 1yr old who does this?

I'm just wondering if anyone else has a toddler like this, he is 15 months and I've just been to a first birthday party and he literally never stops, if I let him do what he wanted he'd be straight out the door and wander into the road. Always looking for naughty places to go, doors slightly ajar, back kitchens, under chair, on top of chairs, on top of tables and never really looks to me or makes sure I'm still there.
On the bouncy castle he just wanted to go behind it and unplug it. He's ok at home because I leave the porch door open to the garden and he amuses himself but In company I notice how calm the other children his age are, a couple of mums actually commented that he was a handful. It's making me not want to go out anymore because I can't for example just have him sit in a high chair while I eat lunch. He's just so damn independent, maybe this will be a good thing going forward but could this be a sign of hyperactivity?

My little boy was like this at this age. He is 2 now and whilst he's still very inquisitive and 'busy' he is able to be engaged in an activity now and will listen (mostly 😂) when told not to do something.

Hang in there, I found it a really tough age, especially because my 2 best friends had little girls of a very similar age who would sit quietly for hours with a simple toy or whatever.

I tell myself one day he will channel all of this energy into running a million pound company and let me live out my days in luxury 😂

Well I do also wonder what adult this personality makes. He is smiley and I'm not worried about development as he has words and is engaging but jeezo every minute is an adventure, at these parties I have to feed him like a dog when he passes me, I wish these places had cages!

My 14mo will wander off and explore if she isn't physically contained, she loves finding her way behind things, climbing on anything she sees. I love that she's an explorer!

She can sit and pay attention though, she does circle time in her toddler classes and will also sit and play with toys in a fenced off bit of our kitchen when I'm getting on with things. I think the best thing is to take them to childproof places like soft play, kids museums etc where they can wander a bit and it's mostly safe.

My 21 month old is so independent and has been since he could be really. It’s odd to us as me and his dad were both shy/quiet kids but we’ve created such a confident and fearless little person 🥰 Whilst more cuddles would be nice I’m sure that having a really clingy little one would be much harder as when they’re independent they just go off and play. We’re still breastfeeding and co-sleeping though so maybe he just gets his fill of closeness at night 😅
