My 5 year old son is crazy emotional at absolutely everything.
He will get really upset over the littlest things, not angry crying or tantrums.
I have asked him how he feels and he says sad sometimes but mostly happy. I am worried about how sensitive he is. He attended a birthday party at the weekend where the mum had to come get me to sit with him as he was breaking his heart for me, I managed to calm him down then he started bubbling again as someone had said his name was 'jack' (it's not) so it resulted in him bringing a chair to sit next to me and eat his meal while the rest of the kids sat together. This happens at most parties or outings. I worry he's struggling to fit in at school he says he plays alone sometimes, I've noticed him being strange when other kids speak to him almost like he's isolating himself. I'm starting to get very concerned as I know he acts differently to other kids his age.
It's worth mentioning we have recently had another baby (10 weeks) who he loves and adores but I wonder if this is making the changes as he has always been such a happy bubbly and sociable little guy until recently.
Is anyone else's little ones like this, is it a phase or should I seek help? X
