I am not really sure where to begin. My son from birth has been sensitive and what some people describe as grumpy. He cried an awful lot as a baby and still does now. The slightest things make him cry and throw terrible crying fits. Everytime we go to someones house or they come visit I feel like I have to make excuses for him.
He hates to be held for more that a minute, always wriggling and eventually crying to get down and has been like this since birth. He can not stand it if he doesnt get his own way which Im sure is normal toddler stuff. He tries to climb everything and completely screams and cries when I stop him or say no.
He cries if I shut a door he doesnt want to be closed. He cries for ages after a nap and we dont know why. Weve tried comforting, snacks, toys but he just cries.
He seems attached to us and makes eye contact/ points talks jibberinsh but gets very frustrated with his toys. Throwing them and crying for no reason.
He still to this day can not sit in a car seat or high chair for more than 5 minutes whithout having a cry which means that going anywhere is damn near impossible.
He seems fairly bright. Has lots of words although not all of them are clear. He can recognise shapes and points to the correct ones when asked but he seems to be stropp y all the time. He just starts cryingout of nowhere and I never know how to handle it. I want to comfort him but I dont know if thats the right thing to do when hes have a temper tantrum.
He wont walk anywhere because he only wants to walk where he wants to go and finds it impossible to take direction without just throwing himself down and screaming but then cries when I pick him up.
I am getting concerned because he doesnt know how to reactto other children. At soft play most children are into all the rough and tumble play, climbing on top of eachother in the ball pool but my son cries if they get too close or snatch a toy off him. I know hes young but he doesnt seem to like being around other children if they are rough. He hates any roungh play, just picking him up too quick can make him cry. He doesnt really like sudden movements at all.
I am starting to worry if there is something else going on but not sure what to do. please help. He seems so touchy and people are commenting on how hes always moody which makes me want to defend him but really I know its true.
