DS parents evening yesterday and the teacher and head teacher said they wanted my permission to ask the educational psychologist to come and he DS. He is only just 4 and in nursery. He can count to 100, can tell the time on both 12 hour and 24 hour clocks and knows all his alphabet etcwhich they said was way above what is expected at his age but his social skills seem to lag behind. He can't seem to control his temper or just barges in and wrecks other childrens models and games and is always winding up the other children in his class. Sometimes pushing and hitting, one time he even pulled his teachers hair. Does anyone know what the psychologist will say/do and whether he really sounds like he's got something wrong with him. I don't want him to be the kid no one wants to play with (apparently at the moment he's actually quite popular) or the other parents tell their kids to stay away from. DH just says it's just the way he is and he'll soon grow out of it and that all kids are different - i just sit here crying thinking i've don something wrong and it's all my fault!
