My 6yo DS is a bright, fun, outgoing kid. However, I am having ongoing issues with him getting overexcited and being out of control, in ways that can lead to him being unsafe to himself and others.
For example, every playdate will end with him running away, screaming with laughter but completely unable to calm down and listen. If we take him places that have lots of stimulation like a school disco, he just goes wild - laughing but also will hit or bite me and DH.
He is generally a good kid, doing well at school, no problems sitting and learning in class. He can sit and do calm activities at home. Sleeps well, eats fairly healthy and varied diet.
It's starting to affect his friendships- because he is SO much more wild than his friends, he grabs at people or they get frustrated with him. I would say he's only like this sometimes but it's always when socially stimulated.
Can anyone provide tips or help?!
