DS is 5 and I have been so surprised how suddenly he started washing and washing his hands until they were sore and also in secret . He's so worried about them being dirty he doesn't trust them, refused 2 meals as had no knife and fork (at a party) and won't eat say an unopened pack of crisps if it's fallen on the floor which is also new, and was worried about being near a river he said was dirty.
I don't think this seems a 'normal' reaction to keeping clean and am really keen to support him if there's anything we can do to intervene early if needed. Would I start with seeing our GP?
Thank you so much
