Thoughts? My Four Year Old Son....
I will try to make this as short as possible!!! My son will be four in a few weeks. Ever since he was a toddler he has been CRAZY busy.... Everyone has always said he's a boy, he's two... etc Well, he is almost four and STILL is crazy busy, and I am exhausted. I feel like he is always in trouble anymore.... Please help! Here are some examples:
He never walks... He runs jumps or bounces everywhere
He does not listen.... I feel like he tries, but he gets distracted or forgets what I have asked him to do
If I send him to get something from his room he never makes it because he has been distracted by a million other things
He screams all the time.... Happy screams, mad screams, sad screams everything is loud and over the top
In a room full of 50 kids the only one you will notice is my son because he is so over the top....
He thinks everyone is his friend and hugs everyone.... He has no boundary control....
I feel like he is impulsive....
On the flip side, he can sit still and watch TV, play computer games, play trains, write letters, etc. If he is interested he can focus....
Last night was his first soccer practice and it just really stood out to me that he was not like the "average" child. The other kids were quiet til they warmed up, he was in your face loud and enthusiastic.... He would not sit and listen quietly, he constantly had to interject his thoughts.... I am just so concerned and I really don't know if I should be.... In the back of my mind I have been noticing this for quite some time, but now I feel it is just so obvious that something is not right.... I have a call into the ped and am awaiting a call back...
Friends tell me he is just bright and outgoing, (which is great) but I worry there is more to it!
So what are your thoughts? Suggestions? Help me please!!!
