Maybe this is the problem. Maybe he's annoying. Too loud, interrupts too much, commandeers conversations, is too hyper, touches too much - some of those?[/quote]

If you suspect this might be the case with your kid how do you help them?

At MS age there's a fine line between advising a kid to tone things down and them taking it personally and it impacting their confidence. They also may not know what to do differently.

If you say nothing and it continues it could be a problem socially long term.

If you've dealt with something like this how did you help your child improve things for themselves?[/quote]

Anyone have any additional helpful thoughts about this?[/quote]

Personally I would err on the side of not saying much. You don’t know that this behavior contributed to what happened. And maybe he just needs to find better matches of friends who like his energy and personality. At home, if he is acting hyperactive or interrupting or hogging the conversation, correct it as it happens. But I would only correct what I see directly at this age.[/quote]
