This is a humorous term to point out that a person is to excited. They are being hyper like a child - and they may or may not be a child. It can also be used for any extreme emotion including happiness or anger.
We would say "turn it down a notch". Lower the thermostate a notch, or lower it one or two degrees.
This is an informal expression used when asking, or instructing, someone to be quiet or to calm down.
