My 2 year old DS is warm, funny, clever, entertaining and lovely - until he gets around other children. It began about 2 months ago (I can't really pinpoint any specific event) when any other kids would make him wail and cry incessently. It got to the point where we couldn't take him to any of his activities or even to a playground. Its taken A LOT of patience and hard work but we finally have him back in all his activities and he's fine as long as no kids come near him. Its starting to impact on my social life as I can't meet up with friends who have kids as he kicks off and its just not fun for anyone. We were hoping to put him into a playgroup soon but I just can't see him in a room full of other kids. I don't know whether to tough it out with him and make him do it or to hold onto him until its time for nursery when he has more language and I can explain whats going on to him. Has anyone had/is having the same problem? Any advice or experience will be gratefully recieved.
