6yr old ds being silly&not listening.Please tell me this will pass!

[parker1313]

My ds acts very silly&doesnt listen properly. He goes cricket sessions after school&when I picked him up@the end I noticed he was not joining in&was sat alone putting his t shirt over his head! He had also been sucking&chewing it so it was all soggy&stretched@the front! He said he told the instructers he didn't want2play. I saw him run over&shout "Im playing now"
he was ignored and it was all finished anyway. I coul tell that they probably thought that he is one of those annoying children that always wants attention and will be very loud and silly things to try & get it!
This sounds awful but I'm not keen on kids that always want constant attention and he is getting on my nerves! I love him dearly & he is my world! Please tell me this will pass and what's the best way of dealing with it?

6 is young for organised sport even if the child is very engaged and the sessions are well run. Even 7 is too early for some children.

Sucking and chewing clothing is common in children of 6 and may persist into year 2 in some cases. It's annoying, but I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Is the cricket the only example of silly behaviour that worries you? if it is, I wouldn't worry too much. It's really down to the skill of the person supervising the session - behaviour management is very much part of the territory for any activity in school, core hours or not.
