Hi all, I'm just wondering about my 22 month old ds. I take him to playgroup once a week, where there is another little girl a few months younger than him. She is a very boisterous & vocal little girl (high spirited I guess) but not aggressive at all. The problem is that she tends to scream when she gets excited. The last two times I've been to playgroup, ds and this little girl have been standing next to each other and both times she has let out a big scream right near him. He looks at her, his bottom lip starts to tremble, then his face crumples up and he bursts into tears. Same thing has happened twice, and now he is clinging to me when he sees her, like he's afraid of her. It's strange because she has not been aggressive towards him, and they used to play quite well alongside each other. I haven't seen any of the other children react like this and I'm just wondering if he is a bit on the sensitive side... he's always been active but I've never seen him be aggressive towards other children. (Maybe that will come later...). Anyway I was just surprised to see him get so upset when he wasn't being hurt in any way.
