My son has just turned 4 and I’m really concerned with his behaviour.
he’s always been a ‘wild child’ and I’ve said since maybe the age of 2 I think he has adhd and I’ve always been told ‘he’s just a boy’ but the older he’s getting, the worse it’s getting.
He is SO loud, makes constant noise. Silly, annoying loud noises. It doesn’t matter how many times we ask him to lower the volume, he will continue to just be so so loud and silly. The noises he makes honestly make me grit my teeth it’s not fun laughter playing. He will ask questions, I will answer and he will ask me to tell him again and again and again.
He rolls round the floor, jumps, runs, doesn’t know how to sit still. He used to sit whilst I would read him a book and he can’t seem to even do that now. I don’t know how long he’s even meant to be able to concentrate at this age but he just seems to get a toy out, throw it on the floor after a few mins and gets a new one out. He never seems to actually play.
he is obsessed with spiderman. Not interested in anything else, just spiderman. He carries these little figures around all day every day and it feels like it’s all he talks about, all he wants to watch on the tele etc
he’s very rough and tumble, can be playing or at least sat semi calmly then just has a random outburst and will grab his little brother in a rough way for no reason.
im honestly at my wits end, I feel so guilty for saying it but there are days I feel like I don’t like him because he just does not listen. He is so so loud, so silly, I hate taking him anywhere because I get so embarrassed of how he acts.
he could get away with it when he was younger but he’s 4 now, surely this isn’t normal? He has cousins, friends etc the same age I don’t think they act the same way at all
