Our house is noisy, but not that bad. The problem seemed to be set off by ds2 having a tumble and crying for a minute or two. As soon as it happened the little boy took himself off to the corner and stayed there with his hands over his ears for about an hour.
We tried various ways to entice him back but nothing worked.
His mother seems very worried about him, and wanted to know whether I thought it was abnormal. I said that I thought all kids had their ways of being upset (ds1 tantrums, etc) but that I really didn't know.
We don't live in the UK and I don't know her very well at all (this is only the second time we have met). We only had the playdate because we are both English and her ds is starting school tomorrow at the same school as ds1.
Any thoughts on whether I should I be suggesting she look for some form of support for him, or is this just one of those things that some 4 year olds do?

4 year old little boy came over for a playdate today and spent pretty much the whole time in the corner with his hands over his ears
