DS1 4yrs is a lovely little boy but I am started to get concerned about one of his behaviours. Since he was a toddler if he sees something he is excited about or even talks about he raises his arms and wiggles them and scrunches his face up (as if he is really constipated), it is pure happiness and we used to love seeing it when he was younger. We were advised by the health visitor he would grow out of it by the time he was about 3. He's still squiggling! The reason for my post is that I sat with him at pre-school last week and he did it whilst watching the other children play with the sand and one of the other boys said "DS is stupid isnt he?" it nearly broke my heart. He is due to start school in Sep, I know children can be cruel. Has anyone had any experience of their children doing this? His Dad has once said why are you doing that? whilst he was looking at a fairground ride and he stopped and looked embarassed, but how horrible if we will really have to supress this over the summer to have him considered as normal, what would you do?
