I don't know whether I should worry or not but my middle boy who is 8 is developing some strange behaviours and I wonder if these are early signs of OCD or whether I should worry. Things that he's become obsessed with include:
His socks need to be on perfectly and won't wear certain pairs, won't put on his socks, we need to do it and then he spends ages fiddling with them.
Refuses to share food or a drinks bottle with anyone in the family even if he wants it. For example we go for a walk and i only bring 2 water bottles for the family but he won't drink if someone. Or he wanted more cake but his sister had eaten a bite and not liked it so he won't eat the slice
Has recently decided he can't wash his teeth at the same time as his siblings as it makes him feel sick
Refuses to wear anything except tracksuits because every thing else doesn't feel right
Am I just being a neurotic mum or are these early signs of being a bit OCD?
