You are nuts.

Perfectly normal, albeit very impulsive, for a young boy to see a squirt bottle sitting around and decide to spray it at someone.

He probably needs a good manners refresher course, not meds.  He is only 7, still learning, so make this a learning experience.[/quote]

Necessarily worthy of meds and parent angst? No. "Perfectly normal, albeit very impulsive?" No. I've worked in schools a long time. That's not typical behavior for a 7 year old, although I can think of several kindergarten students who might have squirted that bottle. [/quote]

I agree with the PP.  I also work in an ES and I know that my son and quite a few other kindergarteners would've done the same thing.  The spray bottle shouldn't have been left anywhere near children.  But it would be more unusual for a 7 yr old to do the same thing.  Impulsiveness seems to drop off between K and first grade for boys and then again by second grade.  The boys who are still 7 and impulsive tend to seek evaluations then if they haven't already.[/quote]
