Question: i have 4 1/2 year old son. Off late he is has become very indisciplne, He keeps hurting children in the school by hitting, spitting and even kicking. If i ask he says that he feels hungry and gets irritated. Off late he is complaining of too much hunger. I have even started giving him nutribear jelly multivitamins. Kindly advise.

Thank you for your reply. I have a clarification. My son was very obedient earlier. He is too good in studies also. His teacher told us he is too good and knows everything. But very naughty. Last week i had gone to his school and found his classmates more hyper active /naughty than him. They were trying to scream/shout in the class even after their parents were with them. My son is underweight according to his age. Most of the time he does not eat in the morning as he has to leave by 7 a.m and keeps complaining of leg pain. When i checked with his doc he told that since he is very playful and keeps jumping around he is getting pain in the legs and also because of bone development. He picks up things were fast. He keeps watching cartoon and tries to imitate the characters. He even tries to follow what others do. but gets irritated and shows all the frustration on us especially when he is tired, hungry or sleepy. He always like to learn new things and keeps asking n number questions to us. Please doctor do you feel still he has the disorder what you have mentioned in your mail. Any therapy i can do at home as my husband will not like me taking him to a psychiatrist. Is it because both of us are working he feels lonely/left out. But the lady who takes care of him is very good and he likes her. Especially after his sickness i have noticed him becoming more aggressive, trying to hurt others etc. Kindly advise.

Thanks a lot doctor for your suggestions. We will definitely follow.
