My ds is 2 years 8 months and for the past 6 months ( at least ) whenever we go out anywhere nice ( zoo, local country house with adventure playground, farm etc) he will do 1 or all of the following :
Cry and asked to be carried
Sit on the ground and flick stones and sticks
Not want to play with other children
Not want to try ANYTHING
Wander off and hide
It's so bloody frustrating as we are going out for his benefit and he just wanders around like we are punishing him with a big pout . dH gets particularly pissed off as he will see other children all running and around and having a good time and we have this miserable little boy . He's a happy confident and bright boy usually and at nursery they think the sun shines out of his arse. We had another baby 9 months ago ( a girl whom he loves) and perhaps the daft behaviour is an attention thing . He doesn't act like this at home or at nursery or at other peoples houses .
It's getting to the stage when we don't want to take him out anywhere as it's so depressing . What should we do?

Toddler miserable and as unenthusiastic as a squashed hedgehog when we go out
