What can I do when my 7 years child is hitting his peers at school

[kousareijaz]

I am concerned about my son, Taha, who turned 7 in December last year.  It's his behavior with other children that concerns me.  He loves to play with other children and is a very friendly boy but he tends to overwhelm the other children.  He likes to touch other kids (hold hands & hug).  He also gets too close to them when he talks.  He can also act very hyper.  since last couple of weeks his school teacher started complaining about his behavior in the school, She said he is not attentive in the class room disturbing other peers of him talking too much shouting many time hitting his peers as well, the school has given him warning and I my self has trying to short this matter out, he at time listen and next day do the same thing again and again, for this reason today school has suspended him for 2 days, which too much disturbing for me and my wife as well. Taha also tends to talk a lot.  asking too much question which we both try to answer him but some time we get irritated too, I think he gets on other kids nerves because he'll ask them a lot of questions.   He likes to do things likes to play but after very short time he losses his concentration and start doing some thing els, we is very found of wrestling show on TV but now we don't let him see that show now. He mostly watch cartons on TV,

I think he does it for attention and he really wants the other kids to like him. But when the other kid doesn't like it sometimes it doesn't stop him.  He really likes to make other kids laugh,  sometimes he'll say funny words just to make someone laugh, and some time other kids refuse to play some thing of Taha's likes he gets angry and hyper.

Taha is very good in studies and does his home work regularly there is no problem with his studies. he is the only son we have and he is adopted, after 11 year of our marriage, but we never do any thing to spoil him I mean we pretend to be normal parents.

He has some friends,  They like to come over and play with him, but at times he can play aggressively.  He's some time hit if they don't listen to him.

I'm really trying to work with him on keeping his hands to himself.  I know he's trying, but it's so hard for him,    

He's in class 2 and will in grade 3 by this September, I'm so worried that how to make him do self control.  I feel like I'm constantly telling him how not to act.  I'm always saying "keep your hands to yourself, no hugging, no touching anyone".  I don't want him to get low self esteem and feel like he can't do anything right socially, but at the same time I feel if he keeps acting like this he'll have problems in school.

I would appreciate knowing your feelings on this.  Thank you.

Thanks for your wishes, diet and some advised therapy are working since last one week, and think its not that serious now because he is trying to control him self to and listening the rules. since is using more conversation than hands:) but still your advise helped a lot to us thanks.

Good luck - i dont know too much on the condition myself, but i have heard you can avoid medication if you put them on a very strick diet - but it all depends on the level of his condition, sometimes medication is the onlything that does help.
