Time and time again I am here posting about Flameboy.
Once again, he is completely out of control - bouncing off walls, throwing toys (not in temper, in just general bouncing), slamming doors. He spent yesterday morning tearing up and making into balls what he thought was scrap paper (so not malicious), but it turned out to be the photocopies of my maternity notes (most of them were salvageable).
I can sit him on the stairs as much as you like, but he will just go straight back to bouncing once he is done.
He isn't being naughty, just Too Much.
I take him out of the house as much as possible, but some days it just isn't.
Nursery and preschool don't seem to have a problem with him.
It is just the longer it goes on, the more I start to wonder if he is just a very bouncy boy, or if there is something else like ADHD or something (not helped by DD1 being on the spectrum, so I think I have always had my radar on iyswim).
He is probably just a handful and me not strong enough to control him.
Half the time I end up posting these threads more to get it off my chest and not yell at him than for anything else

When does it go from bouncy/a handful to "a problem"?
