my son has had prob since 19months hes now 4 years he has tantrums which now hes older are getting worse hes pushed me down stairs throws things screams crys growls etc as well as normal tantrum behaviour,very destructive draws over walls puts toilet roll down the toilet for fun etc,is very bright say school ,very visual,has to have things in a way is ok for him like he wont go to bed until tucked in only will got to till number 5 and has a tantrum if its not his way,doesnt listen,can have a vacant stare and in his own world,very loud always shouting,needs 110% attention if you try and do something else he will interupt so hes the focus,no danger or spacal awareness,has started hitting himself hard in the head and face,doesnt really play toys just runs around and jumps of furniture has lots of energy dr said as if driven by a motor thats just off the top of my head just feels more than a normal child to me but any opinions? hes always had a routiene and ive never given in to pestering etc he acts like hes spoilt but he isnt as he doesnt get what he wants its always been firm and consistent
ive had multiple health professionals involved but its a slow process i have to try everything else before assesment the nursery nurse couldnt offer any more help,have seen a dr from child development,hes having speech therapy,at the min i have childrens mental health nurse who said she cant help me with tantrums as ive tried everything and nothings had any effect
just want some other parents views
