[QUOTE="geekologie, post: 340378, member: 8981"] Thanks so much for your reply. I should have included in my original post that we have already tried this. He was having these issues at the first school, we assumed it was something in the environment there and tried a second school with the same results. This has also occurred to us, however a teacher at his current school has told us that she does not feel it is a maturity thing. I'm not sure what she is basing this on other than that there are younger children in the school who do not behave this way. He did quite well. He was excited about his new bedroom and the park across the street. He did start wetting the bed after being night trained for several weeks and was back in pull-ups at night time for several months. He does fairly well, as long as we give him lots of notice that a change is coming. I often have to ask a few times for him to put his boots or mitts on, but I see his friends parents having to do the same so I'm assuming this is just an age appropriate behavior. His speech is normal - maybe a bit advanced for his age but not incredibly so. His interests have always been age appropriate - trains as a toddler, superheroes as a preschooler. He couldn't care less what he wears for the most part, unless he has a new batman shirt or something that he wants to wear to school to show his friends. He is a picky eater, puts ketchup on everything and resists trying new foods. He doesn't like loud noises or the sun shining in his eyes in the car... but it is hard for me to define "extremely sensitive". Thanks again for your reply. We are really at a loss. We have eliminmated TV and roughhousing at home. We took all his superhero toys and books and packed them away until he is more mature. We have a chart to track the days where he behaves at school and gets a reward. I'm not sure what else we should be doing. Where we live he will be starting "real" school in September (age 5) so we want to figure out the cause of this behavior before he enters the school system. Thanks again for your insight. [/QUOTE]
