need help with 3y/o behaviour

[saladsandwich]

not sure if anyone can help but everytime we have a child over and when hes at play group if a child takes anything from him he is clueless what to do and just becomes beside himself... i need to speak to nursery to see if hes doing it there but it is an OTT reaction, its not just a little cry it is heart broken crying, he will then after being given the toy back or not 2 minutes later hit out if i dont watch him like a hawk. other children are taking things off him purely for the reaction now and it is just constant whenever we go anywhere with children there.

he is 12mnths behind so is this just something most 2 year olds do? also having trouble with him just laying down and curling into a ball in public places, screaming and running off hes suprisingly good with roads but anywhere else he just bolts

bump?

I would mention this to your GP. Is he under a developmental paed? If not I would ask or referral. If he is speak to them about it. It could be that the thing you mention are a pointer to something else and not just developmental delay. Sorry I don't have more advice but didn't want to leave your thread unanswered.

Salad, you've posted before, haven't you? Where are you with regards to getting a referral to a paed? Have you tried More Than Words or It Takes Two to Talk to help with your DS's communication difficulties?

hi

hes under a community paed but he just yawns through the appointment and laughs when i say how badly behaved he is, i presumed he was tire the first appointment, the second one he was the same. his speech has come on leaps and bounds but hes struggling with using it if that makes sense, he will chat to me he interacts really well with me and thats it...other children and adults he just cannot seem to talk to them

i just dont know what to do...do i carry on trying to teach him, i feel everything ds does is taught, hes been taught how to play, most children do it automatically its heartbreaking x

Your paed doesn't sound very helpful. Perhaps you could list all your concerns in writing and give him a copy. It's not that he's badly behaved, by the sound of it, more like his development isn't NT. Can you ask for a second opinion from a developmental specialist? Maybe via your GP?

hi

i do feel when people see him they think he is naughty, in queues he can't stand at the side of me he either has to be trying to run off or he lays on the floor and wont move, he doesnt care if you dont follow him and he gets lost he doesnt even call for me :(

i think its time to ask for a second opinion, ds has a few medical issues which i feel must be linked in but this paed just keeps saying its language delay causing all the trouble but hes not right his social skills, language, play skills and self care skills are behind 12months, i never know what is 12 months behind and what is maybe abit more than that a delay...
