toddler clingy,not sleeping,tantrums etc.normal toddler behavior but is is coinsidence it started when his granny passed away?

[cheesesarnie]

he is confused as his little worlds been turned upside down.our routine daily revolved in most part around my mil.she passed away on thursday.soooo is this him grieving and coping with change or normal toddler behaviour thats just happening to start now?and how do i deal with it/cope if i cant decide which is which?hes 28 months.

children are very sensitive to change and he may well be reacting to this

how are you and your DH doing at the moment?

sounds good point.my heads all over place and i cant think f answers to what would normally be common sense questions.
were doing okish,trying to carry on routine of daily living as normal as we can for the children but telling them that if they cant cope,everything will stop.dh is signed off work due to panic attacks.

Chances are if she was a big part of his life then yes, he will probably react to that, children are very adaptable but sudden change can make them go a bit haywire.
Sorry for your loss. Hoping someone has some advice for you.

oh dear

it is hard trying to carry on as "normal" when something like this has happened

it isn't suprising that you are all feeling the effects of this bereavement

wish i had more than words to offer you

i think we need to find something to do.a big part of everyday was doing something for mil or just visiting her.maybe we both need to do something.hopefully the weathers getting nicer so we can make a new routine which involves being outside lots.
