Hello
I have a 4yr old son called joshua and ever since he has been a baby i have struggled with his behavour even as a young baby he did not want to cuddle and was very hard to play games with. Would just cry/scream and get so frustrated with what we was playing with. He has very poor speach and see a speech theapist every two weeks but it is so hard for them to work with him he has little attention span and will not sit still at all. W ehave had many appointments with the paed but they just ask me Q's and Q's every tiem we go and never any outcome. We have been refered to the child mental health unit and they helped so much with his behavoir at home. Now he attends nursery every afternoon at the local infants school they have just asked me to sign a form for him to see the school sycologist because he will struggle next year in the class room invioment.
His main poblems are:
slow and unclear speach, he is very loud and shouts most of the time, he repeats him self over and over. Very active cant sit still and finds it hard to learn from watching others. You have to guide him verbally in everything he dose and how you want him to do it. He also drbbles uncontrollably and you have to remind him to swalow it and dry his mouth. He never seems to learn what he can and cant do you have to contantly tell him the same things over again every day.
I was hoping someone on here might reconise something as i have no idea on what could be wrong. I just know and have felt from birth it seems there is something wrong with my lovely little boy. From a worried mummy. Steph
