My son is 3 and half and incredibly hard work! He doesn't play with any toys or watch any cartoon programes! Nothing grabs his attention other than banging spoons as though they were drumsticks, this goes on all day! We did buy him a drum kit but he just wrecked it! He's currently being seen my a speech and language therapist as his speech is very delayed. He also sees a preschool education at home teacher and sees a paeditician, but nobody is saying what they think might be wrong with him! He walks about some of the time looking at his hands, he never looks where's he's going has no concept of danger and quite often walks backwards! He loves it when the washing machine is spinning and kneels with his head against. I can't go anywhere with him as he's so disruptive, going to play groups or other people's houses gets him too hyper and he ends up charging around and wrecking everything! I also have an 8 yr old daughter with dyslexia, I'm trying to spend as much time as possibly with her so we can practice her reading which proves impossible with her brother charging around. I work part time and husband works full time. My husband can see our son gets hyper and can be hard work but refuses to admit something might be wrong. He started preschool in January and he settled a lot better than I thought he would but the nursery teachers do sympathize with me as they can see how tough it can be looking after him but again haven't said what they think might be the problem. He's a very loving and affectionate wee boy and loves cuddles. I'd say he's very babyish for his age and seems way behind his peers! Can anybody give me some suggestions???
