Hi there just wondering if someone can give me some insight or anyone that's been through something similar. Basically my 6 year old has become terribly clingy when I go to work and also at bedtime. He cries and says he wants me to stay with him or that sleeping is boring etc but I'm starting to dread every bed time now. He never used to be like this at all. A few things make me think he is like this, one is that I am 22 weeks pregnant,.however he is very excited and isn't showing any signs of jealousy etc. Second one is that I was recently signed of work sick for two weeks so I was home 24/7 but now I'm back at work and this morning he was bawling telling me not to go and I felt terrible (I spoke to my mum who took him to school and she said he cried at the window but after a cuddle he was fine and ran in hopping and skipping to.school) and third reason is because he's recently had tonsillitis (which was quickly gone within 48 hrs of antibiotics) but is still a bit sniffly, maybe not 100% plus it's the first week back after term time. Sorry for the long post but I've never had to deal with this before. What do people think?
