Hi we have a 5 y/o ds - only child. He is quite calm in the house and will sit and do homework, loves listening to stories, will play board games etc no problem.
The main issue is when we go out with children of a similar age - especially his 2 cousins (brothers) right around his age who he adores. He just gets so excitable and probably hyper, speaks really fast, louder, laughing and obviously enjoying himself but it's as if he doesn't know how to manage that emotion. He can't sit calmly and is up and down, touching everything, running around etc. I was just wondering if anyone has any advice to encourage him to be calm and manage his excitement when around other children?
Anyone had a similar experience and when/how did it get better? Did they just mature?
Thanks
