He is 5 and you simply cannot say anything to him without him taking offence.
We can be having a laugh and i will say 'harry you are so funny' and he will instantly change his face to appear angry and say quite aggresivly ' I am not funny', like it was an insult.
Whatever you say, clever, silly, lovely, happy, sad etc etc he takes it as an insult.
You simply cannot have a laugh and a joke with him because he doesn't get it at all. He just gets angry and insists what you are saying is wrong.
It is getting really hard to have a conversation with him because it turns into a minefield of me not knowing what to say so not to upset him.
I had his parents evening tonight, and they seem quite happy with him. I asked about his behaviour and they said it was fine, and that he was a typical boy . He is the first boy I have had so I have no idea if he is typical or not tbh.
Is it somthing to worry about or will he grow out of it.
