Adverse to change (2yr old)

[dribbleface]

I have posted in nursery as well as his reluctance to change is an issue with changing rooms there, however he seems to have real issues accepting any change and i'm a bit worried something is wrong with him.

He remembers everything and is something is out of place he gets upset till it is returned.

Last week on holiday he kept asking to go home

He assocoaites things with certain people and it if they are our of context he gets upset about it.

Is he just a normal toddler or should i be worried?

I think it's normal in a lot of toddlers. Their world is very small, really, and if they're feeling insecure they can become quite distressed about small changes to the norm. I remember my own son going into hysterics once because I decided to drive a slightly different route home.

Does he have special toys or teddies that he can take with him to new places? Something familiar to hold onto might be comforting and help him settle. And try to encourage a sense of adventure by keeping on exposing him to new surroundings.... not let him get into too much of a rut.

He has a favourite toy that comes most places. I think your right i need to keep exposing him to new things. I think as a young baby i was so routine focussed (think i had mild PND and this was a coping mechanism) that i have made him a bit like this if i'm honest.

Thanks
