I think Lee-Bee has hit the nail on the head. He probably doesn't know what way is up if he's catered to all the time at home.
I find the kids that often have the hardest transitions are the kids who have little to no structure or boundaries at home and a strong personality. That seems to be a brutal mixture. They get away with everything at home and then come to your house where they are expected to follow rules and accept consequences and they don't know what to do. It's so confusing for them. BUT once they figure out that is how it works at your house, they are fine and I do believe the structure and routine are comforting for them.
Good luck!
