Hi,
Could I ask for your opinions please?
I have two daughters so don't know about boys...
My ds has just turned four. He is very loving, but also can be overly boisterous, can be a bit pushing / shoving / hitting occasionally, (normally if he's seen something like Robin Hood - so now banned!) and sometimes pretends to be a dinosaur or spiderman (he's never seen it!). Is this normal? But he can be also v insecure and need to hide behind me and cling on.
He works hard at school, but is normally a bit of a fidgeter when reading at home. And when are kids meant to learn to read?!?! And when should be able to hold a pen well? He can write his name, but...
I guess I sound pushy, but I'm all for being little and carefree for as long as possible, just wondering what 'normal' boy status is?
Many thanks!
