I have exactly the same problem. My son DOES NOT LISTEN. I have even gone as far to take him to the hospital to have his ears and hearing checked ..... all of which are prefect. Its so hard. I will ask him to do something - he ignores, his teachers will ask him to do something - he ignores AND he is even going as far to ask to go to the toilet now, when the teacher asks him to do something that he doesnt want, after ignoring the first few trys. I cannot understand why he is going this. He has nearly got lost and nearly run his scooter in the road because he was not listening to instructions. And yes it is driving me potty too - Just thought i would let you know ur not alone in this..... and i i get anywhere, i will let you know.

Dear anonymous. I hear what your saying. Energetic 4 year old boys are hard to handle sometimes. I homeschool and recently I went to a homeschooling meeting and the topic was how am I smart. It touched on the 8 diff ways that kids learn. It sounds to me that your son with his love of sports may be the body smart type. He needs to move and be involved physically with learning. Also the color thing may be that hes color blind I would have him checked out by your pediatricain. I would not worry to much about that though. The biggest advice I can give you is find a way to help him get out his energy physically with his school work. For example learning his colors could be as easy as playing hopscotch. Fill in the squares with diff colors and ask him to hop to the different ones. This will also help you to take notes as to what colors he struggles with. I hope this helps!
