My very nearly 8 year old (January) takes absolutely forever to do anything - he doesn’t ignore the request, he’s not rude, he jus let procrastinates and dawdles and I wondered if it’s normal?
Example - this am get dressed please? Okay mum, 1 Minute later hes hovering in the kitchen telling me about ninjago, okay mate I say get dressed please, off he goes, 2 minutes later not finished and laying on the sofa - get dressed now please I say - off he trots and finishers getting dressed.
Example 2 - every morning - go in bathroom do what you need to do , teeth, hair, cream etc.... whilst doing his teeth he’s pramcing and dancing, talking and singing, does teeth comes out of bathroom, you ain’t done your hair mate I say oh no! Off he goes, comes back out chatty chatty mate you ain’t creamed I say - oh he says n off he goes
I’m aware this is not major issues, he’s a good boy, but my lord what should take about 20 minutes takes about 40 is this normal of an 8 year old?
It’s not making me angry I just put myself on repeat, but I’m curious to know if anyone else boys are like this.
