This is stopping me from sleeping.
My 5 year old son is a beautiful, kind, generous, lovely warm boy I dont find him annoying and woukd not describe him as such myself. . Despite a couple of stages of horrific tantrums, hes just a brilliant child.
The thing is, sometimes he gets so excited he cant control himself which I know can be relatively normal but its starting to cost him his friends.
For example, if we were to bump into a school friend in the shops, he'd instantly start acting daft, giggle uncontrollably, make silly noises, run around slamming into things, make daft gestures, pull faces, all the while the other child is 
.
Ive not thought much of it, Ive noticed no other child does it quite like him, or at all but his dad said he was the same. And he's five, he'll grow out of it.
Except Im noticing at school hes making friends but it never lasts "He doesnt want to play with me anymore and I dont know why."
I see in the line up in the morning he'll see someone he likes amd just be really in their face, making the daft noises and faces.
Today though, I was making conversation asking if he played with his most recent friend, H. He said;
"No, H doesnt want to play with me anymore because I love him soooooo much. I love him so, so much it annoys him. I love him so much I think my heart might pop out my mouth."
I said thats a lovely thing to say about someone, but why do you think hes annoyed with you?
"I dont know, he just keeps saying stop it."
So, I gently explained that when hes gettong over excited to stop and take a deep breath, listen to him when he asks you to stop it the first time and try and play a bit calmer.
Its the third friend whos done this, the others ignore him now and wont go anywhere near him.
Hes such a lovely, kind child it breaks my heart that its coming at them woth such force.
At home we dont see the overexcitedness unless something out of the ordinary happens.
AIBU to be genuinely worried about him losing all his friends??
