Hi, I'm new to this and it's my first post so apologies if I do anything wrong.
I have a little boy who is coming up to 20 months old. He's great with his talking, understanding, sleeping etc but we are first time parents and having a couple of issues with the below that we could do with some advise on please....

  • He isn't very good a team sharing or playing with other children, he has a cousin who is 7 weeks younger than him that he has been around a lot since young as well as going to things like sensory classes, soft play etc but when it comes to other children being around be it at soft play or our house etc he bullies them, pushes them over, hits them and won't share even though we have tried so hard to teach him to. It's to the point now where we hold our breath when we are around other children in case he does something. He's so good when he is at home alone, plays with us and alone so well it's just other kids.

** when it comes to eating he used to be really good when he switched over to solids and would try and eat most things put in front of him. Now as time has gone on he won't even entertain food so that he used to love let alone try something new. His diet is consisting of cereals, pancakes, potato based products and bread items. He always has veg and meat put in front of him most meal times in small quantities but he will either gag at the site of it or lick it and gag. It's like he has decided he doesn't like it before trying it. We both have a good varied diet and finding it stressful that he won't even try. Thanks for any advise or tips anyone can offer.
