[quote=Anonymous]I'll be blunt here since you are asking. I don't know you and your kid, who I assume is lovely, but honestly when kids can't let adult have conversations or have to interject verbally and physically much of the time, it's disruptive and annoying. We had a neighbor like this (both kids, actually, but one more than the other). It may be hyperactivity, but it might also be that it doesn't sound like you're stopping him. Is it because you can't? Or because you feel it would crush his spirit? If the later, and you haven't cultivated this since he was really small, you might start to try by explaining that bigger kids have more responsibility to be polite and practicing as a game. you can find ways to remind him politely (hey, Larlo, when I hold your hand it means you need to occupy yourself quietly and be patient). I'd probably try to engage in behavior change myself before seeking help or making assumptions. [/quote]
