[quote=Anonymous]OP - sounds like you are completely on board with your kids needs.  I would focus on providing lots of positive opportunities for play - swim classes, soccer, t-ball...
If you kids is getting a couple of hours a day of real play, adequate sleep and adequate nutrition - and is still extra challenging then you might want to try to work on behavioral strategies to teach patience and good social skills.  finally, try and make sure he has an opportunity to have playtime with a peer who has very high social skills.

Some kids just need more - more intuition from parents, more care in developing good sleep habits, more structure and thoughtful behavioral approaches where impluse control is an issue....

Also - what about media content.  I was always very cautious on media and friends thought I was nuts.  Then they started having issues with their 4, 5 or 6 year old boys and realized that tv time was not good for them.  that it was stimulating when the kids brain really needed time for free play, or outdoor time, or quiet time reading books...

You sound like a very mindful parent and your kid will be fine cause you will figure out what he needs and give it to him.  Even if all he needs is time and space to mature.
