Help my five year old son will not stop pouting?

My son pouts over everything and when you ask him whats wrong he says he is just sad .I of coarse do not think he has anything to be sad about he has everything and anything he has ever wanted.

Answers:
Seems like usual attention seeking behavior; some kids have tantrums, some sulk. Count your blessings that he is not the typical raving lunatic! Of course if this continues for any length of time, I would consult your doctor as kids this young can have signs of depression.

Maybe that's the problem--he has everything and anything he ever wanted. It doesn't hurt kids to go without occasionally. They will learn that life doesn't owe them everything and neither do his parents. Do you encourage him to draw, play sports with his friends, etc. Maybe he is bored.
