It is good to see that I am not alone! And I think with guidance it can be moderated. I love taking DS to the park after school to help him burn off some energy. Also what has recently worked is undivided attention to play his games X minutes every so often (more focused direct playful attention vs just conversation all the time). Giving him chores has accomplished a goal in that he has to focus on that for a bit. I think a lot of it is just immaturity that will improve with age.


Life is the hardest teacher. It gives the test first and then teaches the lesson.
