Hi, sorry for the long post ahead I just would appreciate some advice to what everyone thinks, what are the next steps ect.
so I need some advice my ds is 4 and does 3 hour nursery sessions Monday to Friday, school hasn’t picked up on he’s behaviour all they have said is he likes to play fight with the boys, he’s very clumsy, and he’s got a speech delay (under health visitor)
but when he’s at home, out, with family ect i have a different child.. so he has never ate at nursery so they wouldn’t know but he’s eating is very fussy and very limited he won’t try new food, if he don’t like the look or smell he will throw it and say yuck, Food has to be hot/warm if it goes lukewarm he refuses to eat it, if something is slightly over cooked refuses to eat it even if he likes that food item. He also doesn’t like to sit down while eating he likes to have food In one hand eating and then he will play with the other or walk round ect.
so moving into hes speech he is behind in he’s speech but I do understand majority in what he’s saying and he is under a speech therapist so I’m not worried about that to much.
He is very clumsy to the point he hurts himself constantly, recently he did fall over leading to a hospital trip but that doesn’t stop him from carrying on running climbing not listening but when he does hurt himself now it’s like he has anxiety and he has to check it’s not bleeding and he doesn’t need the hosp. He also runs constantly hates to walk but when he runs he is always looking back or to the side to see what everyone else is doing and not focusing where he needs to go.
he doesn’t understand danger he will just run off try to go into the road ect.
He’s way too friendly with strangers even though I have drilled stranger danger into hes head since he was about 18months old.
he shouts at me on a daily basis, he will have a melt down if he don’t get he’s own way full on tantrum, he repeats himself a lot if he asks me a question and I answer and he doesn’t like that answer he will sit there and constantly ask the same thing over and over.
Can’t take him into any shops because he will want and if you say no he screams the whole place down throwing fits or he will just try and run off with the item he wants. Can’t wait for something if he decides he wants something he has to have it then or he screams kicks off
He constantly interrupting conversations even if I say one min wait your turn please he won’t
Does things before thinking such as he can hurt you and laugh but if you get sad or cry he’s devastated and wants to say sorry and comforts you
He doesn’t like loud noises he will sit/stand there with he’s hands over he’s ears
Sensitive to bright lights / light outside through window
He can’t dress himself even though I have tried and encouraged it
Touching things he’s not allowed too such as at theme parks, zoos ect if there’s a character statue which has a barrier round he will try and climb to get to it and if he does he will then process to kick punch touch the item even after being told no so many times
He won’t sit down and watch a movie he likes to be on the go 24/7
As soon as home he takes shoes and socks off don’t wear socks or slippers even if it’s cold
Fidgets a lot and constantly pulls faces
Non stop talking / making sounds
he gets bored of activites very quickly then wants to move on to something else
im not sure if this means he could potentially have it as I have mentioned it to the school but they brush it off so I’ve been questioning myself thinking maybe it’s normal boy behaviour but the constant not listening to me ect is getting to much because I’m unsure what to do at this moment in time.
thankyou to anyone who reads this posts / replies.
