He’s that enthusiastic child in class that volunteers when the teacher asks if anyone wants to sing. The one that raises his hand and provides the answers to the questions that he knows how to answer. And goes “I want, I want!” whenever the teacher tells them that there will be a nice sticker for the child who can give the right answer.
He is also that child in class that attempts to be overly friendly to his classmate who quietly sits by himself. Sits too close to a little girl, then tries to hold a her hand and was spurned, accidentally steps on another child’s leg when he excitedly went up to the front of the class to tell his teacher that he has finished his colouring. And was a little too generous with his hugs when he said his goodbyes at the end of his class.
That’s my son.
He’s sociable, enthusiastic and hardly ever shy. However he is also that little neanderthal when it comes to his social graces. He wants to make friends in class, but his behaviour came across a tad bit irritating and aggressive. ‘Making friends 101’ role playing needs to get started now before he commences school and before he becomes that ‘notorious’ child in class, who gets a little too much attention from the teacher.
