That things hurt.
He's going through a stage the last week or so where he will say 'Mummy my finger is hurting'
'Mummy my tummy is hurting' 'Mummy my leg is hurting'
I have no idea why he's doing this and I'm worried it's a sign of more anxiety type behaviour starting.
Can anyone tell me if this is a phase that they have gone though with their kids please?
How do I deal with it?
I'm trying to play it down.

Hi OP,
It’s totally normal.. my Ds is 4 and he’s always complaining about this sort of thing! .. I just humour him with it and you can tell when they have actually really hurt themselves .. it’s a phase that will pass so don’t worry 😀
