I am coming to realise that my lovely DS is probably hyperactive. He is unable to stop talking/moving - when he is awake he is either on the move, talking, singing etc. He finds it very hard to calm down and gets hugely over excited when with friends, at parties, with family. When challenged he becomes rude and aggressive. He is very physical with other children and whilst you can put some down to typical boyish behaviour he ALWAYS takes things too far so that he ends up causing other children to cry. Although he is very engaging with me I know he struggles to keep friends as he is so out there. Its getting to the point where DH and me avoid social gatherings because we cannot relax; one of us has to keep an eye on him and take avoinding action. Can someone please point me in the direction of books/diet advice etc. I did see a Health Visitor about 3 years ago and she confirmed the hyperactivity but then suggested a referral to the Mental Health Team and I was worried about such a label etc etc etc. Please help - I am finding things tough
