DS is 5 and has always been very attention seeking. He's been described as a 'character' and not caring what anyone else thinks. This is putting it nicely, he sometimes gets odd looks from other children and even parents as he just behaves unusually. I can't even really explain how, he just acts differently to other children. He's very in your face and doesn't stop talking. He craves attention from other children and even other adults, he has zero filter. It's like he has no awareness of strangers, he thinks everyone wants to be his friend. Gets very excitable when another child gives him even an ounce of attention. Behaviour wise he is fine at home and school. I worry that he will be easily influenced when he's older as he seems to do anything for attention. He gets more than enough attention at home, he doesn't leave me/his dad alone.
Don't get me wrong, he's also kind, loving, funny and as I said he is generally well behaved but this part of his personality I really struggle with. It makes me dread taking him anywhere. Does anyone else have a child like this?
