[quote=Anonymous]Quick version - 6 years old, 1st grade.  Super athletic, sociable and energetic.  Also bright, though tends to rush through things to want to be 'first.'  History of anxiety - diagnosed as 'sensory' when he was a toddler, but those issues (physicality, fear of loud noises and costumes, etc) have all but disappeared.  Anxious kid who needs to know what the plan is for the day, etc.  Sweet and empathetic, but can have trouble 'toning it down.'  Doesn't like TV or movies much, but will watch sports or Ninja Warrior for a good chunk of time.  Behaves perfectly during sports practices, often moreso than the majority of the kids (mentioning this because seems contrary to email below).

Got this email yesterday, meeting with the teacher tomorrow.

[i]I would like to know a bit more about [Johnny]. I am concerned that some of his behaviors that disrupt the class and others. His behavior is not mean. He is a very kind and caring boy. That being said, he will blurt out
answers in the middle of class and talks over others. He will get up and move around to see what others are doing and chat. His work does not reflect how bright he is because of his "hurry up and get done" approach to work. During quiet reading time, he can not be quiet nor attend to reading a book.  It has been noticed by the specialists also, and therefore I  wanted to bring it to your attention.  We can have a phone conference or meet, if you like? Let me know what you prefer. Please know how much I enjoy [Johnny]! He is energetic and definitely keeps me on my toes. I'll wait to hear from you.

[/i]

Typical kid stuff, or something more (yes I will ask her this)?  Feeling a bit anxious (also a trait in my family, that he seems to have inherited - also have a younger boy who's not that way)...

would also appreciate stories of those who have kids like this, and how they've dealt with it.  Thank you![/quote]
