I take ds to a couple of groups that he usually enjoys, a music one and a sporty one where they run around and throw balls etc. For the last month he's been really weird about them - suddenly very clingy, a bit tearful, but mostly just stroppy:
Me: "Let's run now" (all the kids run across the hall)
Ds: NO! I WILL NOT RUN! I will WALK! (murderous look, walks slowly along or stands there).
Refuses to stand/sit or anything as requested.
Or at the music group we'll sing a song and at the end he'll go "NO! I don't WANT that!" Or "NO! It's NOT wind the bobbin up, it's wind the [insert random word here - giraffe, book, grass, etc] up!" (bursts into tears)
At home he is fairly contrary in a toddler kind of way but not like this... I'm a bit sad about it as he used to really enjoy these things and have a laugh.
So is this a phase? Or have I done something wrong?! He has a cold but is otherwise well.
