[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 485113, member: 84"] Fact of life, boys play rough, it's actually good for them. Rough and tumble play is perfectly normal. That it gets out of hand sometimes is also normal. That J has problems stopping once it's gotten out of hand may be a problem. It may or may not have a thing to do with ADHD either as it's always been an issue of Travis' and he doesn't have ADHD at all in the slightest. Play fighting with Travis had to be closely monitored because he couldn't read the social signals from the other kids that it had gone too far and to stop. (he still can't by the way) I had to actually stop that type of play for a year or two when he was too young to explain it to him. Then we resumed supervised play fighting ect again. I personally wouldn't ring the other mom. Doesn't sound like the teacher was too over worried, more bringing your attention to an issue which is good. I wouldn't over worry it. Maybe talk to the doctor and see about good ways to explain it to J when he goes over the top with play. When I first saw this behavior, it alarmed me. After talking with older moms of boys.......I settled down about it and relaxed. Just kept a close eye on him Hugs [/QUOTE]
