My little boy is 4 and I'm just becoming concerned that he doesn't show any empathy/compassion but at the same time am I expecting too much?
Don't get me wrong, he loves a cuddle and we have a good relationship but I just feel he shows no compassion. If someone hurt themself he'd never show attention, he's not interested in other people's birthdays or giving gifts, hates saying sorry he wasn't bothered about Mother's Day and doesn't get excited for other people. I sound horrible saying These things about my son and I hate that I'm making this post, but he's my eldest and I don't know whether he's just still quite young and normal behaviour?
The more I try and push these things the angrier he gets about it all! Do I just leave it and let it come on naturally... or should I be concerned?
He is a lovely little thing, but I just don't know how to crack this!
