I can assure you he is very high-strung. He has energy up the wazoo and from what my MIL tells me, his dad was the exact same way (he was also the middle of 3 kids) She told me he gave her so much trouble that seeing my son act like he does takes her back to when my husband was 3.
If he continues to be like my husband was as a child, he'll finally calm down around his late 20's LOL
Thanks again guys for listening to my rant.

I will say, with my oldest, tried counseling, when he was 7ish, because of this high strung thing, she recommended a rewards chart for tantrum free days.
It was good, timing, had her there, to help discuss, both my moms cancer and divorce.
Stopped, when Mom died, divorce finalized, had trouble getting there, schedule changed.
Signed him up, at school, through the guidance office, for a lunch buddies program, talk about 'feelings' . Currently, she's on standby, because my home life changed, due to kids observing violence in home, from my ex, but honestly, my kids aren't showing anything abnormal, at,school. Good students, normal, age appropriate behavior.
Schools, preschool are good resources, too.
tantrum free chart, meh. Turned into, something more concerning, as in if you give me, this, then I'll be good, not other way.
You May find, he's highly sensitive(forget name of book), & May need more one on one, with you, as he grows older.
I will say, my oldest turns to me, for everything, birds and bees talks, included.
There's a light, at end of tunnel
