I am about to be incredibly general and possibly unhelpful.

It's not really about gender, though it is of course about gender. It's about when. I like to think about it in terms of fine and gross motor skills. Girls get fine motor skills first. They want to put on delicate barbie shoes, write neatly, sit in a chair and color. They can do small, detail work much faster. The run/kick/jump/chase stuff comes a little later and then they'll develop more of an interest in soccer and kickball. Boys are the inverse. The ability to move the body in these physical ways comes in way before pencil holding and crayon drawing and lego building. It's starts off as a freight train, but the subtle stuff DOES come.

So, no. He's not going to play candy land and sit still to color. He just wants to run. So, you're going to need some running games. Borrow a dog, get a Frisbee, and go at it. Let him jump off the couch into a pile of cushions. Do the inadvisable thing my father did which was to convince me if I just tried hard enough and wished hard enough I could fly off the back of the couch. The results on that were luke warm at best.

Do this....knowing...someday you'll have the sensitive seven year old that wants you to look at his drawings desperately. He'll want to learn the guitar, to read books, to build that roller coaster out of the erector set. It's just backwards now. He's not broken or wrong, he's just getting one particular skill set all at once, without the nuances of the other to temper it. He's not going to be some violent behemoth. He's just an id with no small motion control rolling with what works for him in the moment. Eventually, those finer controls are going to sink in and video games, building blocks, city building, and more nuanced activities will delight. It just takes time.

...But in the mean time, I say you dare him he can't run across the yard and back three times in five minutes because you're going to time him and let him get his yah yah's out. Then bet him he can't beat his previous time. Then bet him a piece of candy he can't do it in ten minutes hopping on one foot. Then dare him to make the biggest snow man in the world. Meet him where he lives because, eventually, it will balance out.
