Hi,
My three year old seems completely bored with everything and I can't get him excited about any activity.
I have recently had a baby and when I was heavily pregnant, we cut down on a lot of things we nornally do, which usually involved us being out and about. Now the baby is here, I've obviously tried to get back to our old routine.
But my son refuses to do anything. We have tried clubs, football, gymnastics, none of which he wants to do. I can't get him to go swimming or to the park. He has started preschool, which I thought would help, but even the excitement of that only lasted a week and now he doesn't want to go. I have sometimes made him go to things and sometimes he enjoys them, but more often than not, he just looks bored and wants to go home.
Even at home, I can offer baking, colouring, building, games, painting and nothing holds his interest, even if I can get him to join in. The only things he wants to do is play superheroes and watch TV. I'm at my wits end and by the end of the week, bored to tears with staring at the same four walls.
Please tell me other peoples children do this and that it is a phase. I feel like he's not developing because of it.
