I have two small boys, just one year apart. My eldest is 5 and unlike the younger one I feel like he is always pulling away from me. They are obviously different individuals but I worry im doing something wrong. He often looks away as we speak to him. He doesnt answer questions. He is a bit into himself yet on the other hand he is also very physical. He loves to move etc. Developmental wise I think he is doing well. But, on an emotional front I feel like he doesnt 'hear' me. He does say mummy I love you but I often see him just wandering in his own world. I dont want to compare the two, I know that is wrong but I wonder if anyone has the same experience. My other son by comparison never stops talking and lolls around me 24/7. They play together well but bicker as per normal.
