From time to time, most kids act up at home or in a familiar environment. I have always heard teachers say that if the kid can behave like an angel all day at school, and the wild behavior is at home, it is not a problem. Just a kid letting pent up energy out after a day of sitting still and being good.

My older two girls were always fairly calm. My youngest, now 10, is not so calm at home - always has to be doing something. Her teachers think she is wonderful, so I don't think there is a problem - only that she annoys DH and me, plus her older sisters. Also, she doesn't have anyone her age at home. Her sisters will soon turn 17 and 19, so while they had each other to bug/wrestle/play with, she doesn't have anyone. I forget, is your DS an only child or if he has siblings, is there a large age gap?
