DS has just turned 3. He was born prem, but at this stage I don't really think that's relevant.
He's never been much of a talker. He'll happily chat away to me when it's just us two, but in a crowd he won't talk much and rarely chats to other people like his GPs.
He also is really bad at just not answering people. Including me, his Dsis, DH. If he does chat it will be him chatting single sentences to me. There's nothing 2 way about it. Unless I'm asking him if he wants a biscuit, or needs a wee, he just doesn't answer me.
And he just can't / won't follow instructions. He's not in any way naughty, he's a lovely little thing, so placid and self-motivated. But if he doesn't want to do something, he's not going to do it.
Is this a boy thing? Is he 'normal'? Should I be worried?
He starts nursery soon and I'm really worried that he's just not going to be able to comply to simple things like sitting down on the carpet when asked!!
