3yo DS shouting constantly

[FemaleDilbert]

Does anyone else experience this?

We have a DS who has just turned 3. He shouts ALL THE TIME. It's constant, whether he's happy or sad - always shouting.

We have an older DD who was never like this. Is this a boy thing? Or is this abnormal?

My son is like this. He's 4.5. It's really flipping annoying!

The thing is, this being my only DS I'm starting to worry where the border between normal and abnormal lies, although to be fair he's generally mainly like this at home and much better in public/other people's homes

Has he had his hearing checked? Someone in my class used to shout all the time and was always getting told off eventually it was found out he was shouting because he couldn't hear himself.

I was just going to say the same thing as the above poster. About geting his hearing checked. Very common to shout if any hearing problems.

DS was a shouter at around age 3/4, took him to the Dr and both his ears were completely blocked with wax .

Ear drops sorted out one ear but the other one had to be syringed.

he has had his hearing checked and it is fine. Ironically it was because he wasn't talking at 2.5 and we wanted to see if there was an issue, but none with hearing. At 3 now he never shuts up! Whilst I'm happy his language is now fine and 'normal' I just wish it was at a lower decibel

Did he have any speech therapy at 2.5? I had speech therapy and started to speak with a bit if a South African accent as this was how the therapist spoke, if the therapist was a little on the loud side he may have picked this up. If he hasn't had his hearing tested in the last 6 months I would get it done again tbh.
