I am at a total loss with my son, he is 3 years 8 months old and constantly talks about wanting to be a girl. He wont go to nursery without wearing a dress on top of his normal clothes. He wont even go through the door if i insist he leaves it at home. He has started to also become more aware of his mixed race skin colour and wants to be white like me. He has a 2 year old sister whom he has been jealous of since the minute she was born. It is just me and the two kids at home, he doesnt see his dad and I think that confuses him.
His behaviour at nursery is terrible, and very attention seeking of the other chidren and staff. I work full time and try my best to give them every opportunity for positive time. I dont know what to try next, any suggestions will be greatly received!!
