My DS is 22 months. He seems to have a very strong overreaction to everyday events. Today, he was helping FIL pack some things away and when FIL put the bsg into a box, DS had a full on meltdown. It seemed different to a tantrum, his cry was properly distressed, he cried proper tears.
He did the same when I rolled his sleeve up at tea time and wwouldn't eat any more. He looked at me like I'd just been horrible to him and held his arms out for a cuddle. He did yhat sobbing breathing thing.
The HV came over and he screamed and clung to me the entire 45 mins. Tried to put him down and he kicked and screamed some more.
Is this all normal? It seems a bit extreme!
