[quote=Anonymous]You  will need to spend more time observing him in groups of boys his age to gauge whether it’s normal 7 yr old behavior or something else.

My boys seem silly and loud and energetic to me - but some of their friends are like 10x or 100x more so. Even with my 1st grader you can tell the kids who are silly and excited, but can control themselves if needed and the kids who are out of control - who can’t seem to calm down even if they wanted to. The latter are the ADHD and other diagnoses kids. Almost all 6-7 yr old boys are silly when they are together, but watching my 10 yr old, most of them outgrow it or at least learn what is appropriate for various situations. At 10, I watch the ones that didn’t outgrow it start to annoy their peers, repeat silly words or jokes long past the point of being funny, and don’t really “read the room”.

When my oldest was 7, I probably would not have correctly predicted who would calm down with age. Now that I have a 10yr old I can look at my 7yr old’s friend and have a good hunch which kids are which. [/quote]
