   Good points my allmymarbles.  You might want to observe him at preschool and see how they work with him.
    We do see situations like this when there is a new younger child involved.  Do you have any other kids? and if so - how old are they?
     Also, you said,  "he is under dr at the hospital".  Are you saying he is under doctors care at the hospital?  If so - for what?

Nowadays whenever a child misbehaves ADD/ADHD is usually on the list of suspects. Bad behavior can be caused by diet, by environment, by permissive parenting, and, possibly, by an emotional problem.

Your son is well-behaved in school which suggests that he is not a candidate for an ADD diagnosis. As for his being a little wild and fearless, that is not unusual in a four-year-old. You might want to discuss your problem with a behavioral specialist.
