[quote=Anonymous]he sounds like a normal active kid.

If it is realy strressing you out you could try a consequence chart. Talk to him and expain the chart.

Pick a behavior that is the issue, then make a chart with 6 boxes on it, the first 3 boxes are empty, the 4 th is losing a privledge like no tv time/ ipad (whatever after school), 5th is somehthing a little bigger, like no playdate afterschool or some other thing that is meaningful, 6th is directly to bed after dinner.
Each time you have to comment/ correct him about the behavior you mark a box, starting at 1.
This was very help for for my son in elementary school.  Reward charts didn't work for him.

I got this solution from the book the Well Behaved Child.  I didn't love everything in the book, but the consequence chart idea was very helpful for us.

Public school teachers and principals may not be "allowed" to tell you to have your kid evaluated or to medicate them, but it certainly doesn't stop them from telling you to!  [/quote]
