Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.
It is, however, impossible to say what, if anything is wrong with your son. You have posted on an ADHD site, do you think your son may have ADHD? If so, you can read more about ADHD in young children: ADHD in Toddlers and ADHD in Preschool. These articles have information on some of the behaviors often seen in children with ADHD. Please keep in mind that this information should not be used to diagnose your child. ADHD is a medical diagnosis and can only be diagnosed by a doctor. If you believe your son may have ADHD, the best place to start would be with your pediatrician or family doctor.
You might want to begin keeping a log of behaviors you have questions or concerns about. This way, when you go to the doctor you will have specific information to share and be able to better explain your concerns.
