2 year old concerns

[mummaworries21]

Hi there

I don’t really know where to start, I’m new here and have no idea if I’m posting correctly or in the right place but I’ll give it a go..

I’m looking for some advice regarding my son (25months), I have had a few concerns for a little while and have contacted the HV for a review but didn’t know if any of you lovely ladies cuz give advice or opinions.. please.

he’s a lovely little boy and I adore him but I have some concerns regarding some things..
I feel like sometimes he is in his own little world, he talks to himself quite a-bit when he’s playing alone, which he likes to do.. although he will come and find me and say come on mummy come in here, he says look mummy to show me things and he points to show me things.
he is always counting, anything or saying mummy 2 or no I want 2.. and he sings a lot! Like he will have a conversation and sometimes sing his words if that makes sense, I feel like his tone of voice is never the same. His eye contact doesn’t seem as great as it once was, but he’s very busy.. always on the go! He day dreams a lot, kind of like staring into space but I can still get his attention while he’s doing this. He loves to jump, he jumps when he’s excited and when he’s playing sometimes. He has so many positives too, he’s so happy and gets excited about seeing his little friends and loves animals and being outside.
I just feel like I’m always analysing him at the minute and I feel terrible! All this started from a comment from another mum about autism and now it’s all I can think about, not that I am worried about him having it.. mainly worried about not doing enough to help him if he needs it. Does this sound like normal behaviour or should I be concerned?!
thank you in advance and sorry for the long post

So sorry that you've been upset by a comment. What did the Mum say?

@SiouxsieSiouxStiletto basically that he was unlike other children his age and had i considered it! It was a shock I won’t lie..
he is a very happy boy like I said, he sings a lot of his words and is constantly chattering/singing to himself what doing things I just don’t know what she saw that made her think this

Ok so perhaps the other Mum can see something but it doesn't mean she's right.

I think you've done the right thing contacting the HV.

Before you see her I'd do this SLT progress checker. If it says that "you've answered no to done important questions" I'd give their helpline a call.

Has the HV arranged to see you both yet?

I'd keep a list of your concerns and ask her to do the Social & Emotional Ages & Stages Assessment.

Let us know how you get on

Hello!
sorry for the lack of response from me on this post but thought I’d give an update!
We had the HV review and she did the ASQ and observed and asked about my concerns to which she said that w everything he was doing was “normal” toddler behaviour and he “passed” she said she had no concerns with him.. which is amazing but I still have this niggle at the back of my mind that there’s still something we’re missing!

He sounds very normal to me! I also have a lovely two year old boy who is chatting to himself constantly when playing, loves to count and is always jumping around! He sounds lovely. I’m glad the health visitor review went well! I think we will always worry about our children and want to do the best by them, but it sounds like he’s a very happy little two year old and you’re doing a great job.
