My DS has changed! He used to be quite resilient and not turn to tears easily. He is pretty average in most developmental ways- sometimes can share/turn take, sometimes not, likes to run about, parallel plays with peers, sometimes plays a role play type game with peers. He is usually easily persuaded and can be distracted out of a strop quick quickly.
DH and I have noticed that very minor things are reducing him to sobbing. Not just a tear, but a sob! Could be that he thinks we have shouted at him, he falls over, he can't get his pants up, he is going to the loo then decides he wants me to be there. Little things that would never get such a reaction he is just not dealing with at all.
He has just started pre-school- says he likes it, always wants to go, his key worker says he has settled in beautifully. We are having a mtg on Tuesday though so I can talk to her about this.
He has a 3m old baby sister. He likes her, kisses her etc. She is an easy baby, so I am not tied up feeding, rocking, shhhing her etc.
So.......what can I do to help him, and someone please tell me that this is normal! I want to help him deal with his emotions, but also I don't want to indulge him, especially when the tears are unwarranted.
Thanks for reading!
