Over Excited 5 year old.

[Ilovechocolatetoomuch]

I have had concerns about my ds behavior for about a year he is 5.
Since we have given him more independence in social situations he just goes loopy.
Parties, weddings and any large busy social gathering he gets to such a level of excited I am finding it hard to bring him down.
For example at a friend's house recently he kept climbing on a dining room chair. As a younger child he never climbed or jumped off furniture. I called him over and aked him to stop however 5 mins later I caught him up there again! It wasn't defiance it's like he genuinely forgot and just got so carried away .
At a wedding he was running round and round in circles being far too hands on with his cousins it was near impossible to calm him down.
At a party same again with climbing on and jumping on the furniture. He never does this at home although when he comes out of school he is at such a hightened level of excitement it's so hard to get him back to a level headed place.
Any experience or advice appreciated!

Mine was the same. I remember picking him up from school one day and his teacher said he had climbed onto a table and jumped off. She made him stand facing the wall and said, "I don't want to see your face!"; not for long. When we got home he relayed it all to me with glee.

As puberty approached, he changed. Turned into a slow moving (and mumbling), monosyllabic boy (I'goinoutwivmymates).

His teacher then said he was so laid back he almost hits his head on the floor.

Much later - my son is clever, accomplished, great company, much admired.

So don't worry. Time changes us all.

Bless his little heart. You will look back on these times and smile.

Thank you for your response. I used to look at other parents and think gosh why is your child doing that, now it is me!
I am an extremely anxious parent and I get myself in such a state worrying that his every move is because of my terrible parenting
