Kids habit driving me insane

[HoneyBunnii]

Hello everyone, im going to get straight to the point..
I have a 2 year old kid (2 years and 7 months to be precise) and since last october he has developed this really annoying habit which is making it difficult for me to understand what his problem is.

Everytime he cries he starts singing a random nursery rhyme (yesterday he was crying and singing the "i want to eat apples and bananas" song and today it was the "boo boo" song from cocomelon and he has a few others )

I dont know why he does this and he is my first child so idk if this is just one of those wierd things kids do and grow out of.

Developmentally he is doing fine but he is alittle behind with speech as in using 3 word sentences but i guess that is because he has not had much interaction with other children, he has only been around me as my husband works nightshifts and sleeps most of the day and other than me speaking he learns the rest from tv (although we have gone cold turkey with the nursery rhymes he gets to watch ms rachel for about 2 hours a day who he likes to imitate and roleplay 24/7).

He knows over 100 words and names of many things and can follow simple instructions etc. But idk why he sings when he cries. Does anyone elses kid do this because i find it embarressing when sometimes i go to pick him up from day care and he cries and starts singing that i have to carry him out swiftly so other parents dont give me wierd looks 😩

I keep trying to explain to him that he needs to tell me in words what the matter is and say "i am crying because..." but it isnt working and its stressing me out..

Additional note: my MIL said his father used to do the same thing when he was his age and they used to find it funny and he grew out of it when he was like 7 years old! 😱 he seems fine otherwise though!

Somebody please 😩

I'm sorry nobody responded. You can try to speak to speech therapist or ask pediatrician for advice. I would also start to talk to your kid more, and significantly limit screen time.
You child might be unaware what words mean, so I would try to start label things that you're doing with him or label objects you're using.
That said, best way I think is to talk to closest medical staff you can. I'm not in Britain so I don't know how it's done where you are, but speech therapist or pediatrician would know the best thing to do.

@oldnorsesaga thank you for your reply 😣 he knows alot of words as in what they mean and he uses 2 word sentences and sometimes 3 (he has just started using these) its the singy songy thing he does thats worrying me i dont knoe if it is something he does as he cant communicate his emotions or what.. i started this thread wondering if other peoples kids had done this and grew out of it but sadly nobody responded and it made my anxiety shoot up 😞 i have spoken to his daycare about possible speech delay and they will be bringing one of those teachers in to assess his speech etc. I just wish he would stop singing while crying though 😩
