he's got no problem with sitting still and working on something that interests him.
But how does he compare to other 6 year olds when it comes to working on something that doesn't interest him? And of course, he will be in that situation a lot more than agemates...
He's normal. Probably better than average from what I observed in his class. The K teacher said of DS6, "I wish I had a whole class like him!" He never received any sort of disciplinary measures in 3 years of pre-K and K--nothing! He is quite content to sit quietly, raise his hand and wait to be called on at circle time. He didn't run around the room when they were supposed to be working, as some of the kids did.
In fact, he tends to look very unfavorably and impatiently at kids who don't behave in class. I had to talk with him more than once about not being nasty about kids who act out.
Really, this is not a problem. He's extremely well-behaved.
