Just this really. I was wondering if it’s normal or something to be concerned about. It’s hard to explain.
She just seems generally grumpy and unhappy most of the time. I wouldn’t say there has been a sudden change in her personality. She has just gradually become this way recently.
It’s not like she never laughs or smiles. She does. But she’s so quick to shout or get worked up or cross. She’s always fighting for control.
She has never been one for running around mad, shes always quite subdued. Enjoys the park and the soft play but only at her own pace. Will socialise with other kids but again only on her terms.
She goes to nursery three days per week and she’s happy going in. She tells me that she loves nursery. She sometime talks about her friends but whenever I see her there she seems to wander around by herself rather than playing with other kids. We were at a nursery party at the weekend and while she enjoyed herself she kept herself to herself and didn’t really engage with any other kids. Just with me.
The women working in her room say she’s happy and that that’s normal. She is also the youngest in the room just now so I’m trying to bear that in mind. She’s a young three.
She’s very clingy with me just now. But at the same time will shout at me, tell me to go away etc. She just seems very subdued and sullky just now. Like she’s tired and has the weight of the world on her tiny shoulders. She shouldn’t have any worries. She is absolutely doted upon.
Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. I’ve probably missed out some examples but I’ll answer questions
