[QUOTE="wvmom, post: 703029, member: 21060"] Hello. My 3 1/2 year old son is struggling with impulse control & personal space issues. The daycare reports he is "the only one" not following direction, not staying on task, not eating lunch, running out of the class. He sometimes hits kids, like they all do at this age, but he's usually gentle & kind to people. Almost too much. He will talk to strangers & wave his hands right in other new children's faces and say "hi". He is overly intelligent, he can read words, spell, loves singing & music, has a superb memory and loves movies. I struggle because he almost fixates on movie characters and learns their names and talks about it too much, until the movie is no longer in theatres or being advertised. ex: trolls previews have been on for months and since, he's learned the characters & wants the toys from McDonald's (which he won't eat at). I don't know what to do. I feel so bad because he's such a nice kid but just can't seem to calm down in social situations. He often needs two eyes on him,as he will run away in pubic crowds, to do his own thing. No worry about being lost. He seriously runs into traffic, if he sees his dad pulling up, and we are outside. He is smart and he talks ALL the time. He will talk to anyone and will grab things out of their hands, hug kids he doesn't know, wave in their faces and so forth. I'm over the "he's high energy and a boy". I am coming to terms that isn't quite so. Feedback appreciated. [/QUOTE]
