21 months old terrified of strangers

[Anjabest]

My DS is 21 months old and he needs to start having physio, maybe see other specialists due to his low muscle tone and inability to walk. The issue is that he is terrified of strangers. He would scream excessively and won’t let the doctor touch him, even if try to comfort him. Has anyone got any advice?

Is the HV aware of how he reacts @Anjabest?

Sorry I’ve just assumed tgat you’re in the UK. If you are, is it the HV who has made the referral to Physio?

GP referred us to paediatrician, and then the paediatrician said we’ll need physio.
