I already know this will read like waffle but I want to write as much as I can.
So my little boy is 4, will be 5 in the autumn. Will go to primary school in sept.
Doesn’t currently attended preschool but that’s another thread for another day.
Basically, we can’t seem to get thru the day without a meltdown or kick off about something.
This week, we’ve had meltdowns over sweaty socks (I’m taking them off as fast as I can!!) leaving the bowling centre (this involved him trying to run back, we had to carry him, he was SCREAMING) his sister playing with him ALWAYS causes an argument (doesn’t matter if it’s football in the garden or a Mario on the switch, god help us if she scores) he went for a preschool immunisation and I’d warned them he wouldn’t be happy. Me and husband had to physically pin him down so they could do it. My god he screamed.
He’s a very active boy and needs to burn his energy off. He doesn’t stop.
He’s very physical when he gets angry. He will swing for my husband, never me or sister thankfully. I think he sees it as fun with dad.
His speech is difficult to understand if you weren’t used to him. Others struggle to understand him whereas I do.
He SCREAMS this high pitch scream which is deafening and even does it in public.
He’s had an audiology appointment, all fine.
HV has done some kind of checklist where apparently he was close to being on the autistic spectrum. I have a consultation booked with the gp, she observed him at the immunisation.
Can anyone help me with coping strategies, hints and tips, anything? Every day is exhausting for us all. Thank you
