[quote=Anonymous]Educator chiming in here. I’ve worked with thousands of kids over the years. No, it’s not uncommon to have kids this age get wound up or have “annoying energy.” It’s not exactly typical either. Over time this type of behavior does annoy peers, which causes some degree of social marginalization. It also tends to become a problem in the classroom. Some kids learn social cues and self regulation strategies by observing others. It’s much the same way that some percent of kids are natural readers. Don’t assume that they’ll all just figure it out eventually. Target the behaviors that are most problematic and start teaching different ways of doing things. Then actively intervene with reminders, redirection, and consequences. [/quote]
