I have a 2 yr old son with Down Syndrome. Up until the last month or so he has been the most laid back baby ever! He never usually gets wound up or upset. Very chilled nature. He isn't walking yet. He doesnt talk but does sign but never to express his needs. It's almost like if I say a word he signs it with no real understanding of what he means lol. Lately frustration has set in and he is becoming very nasty, biting, lashing out, getting angry when people talk to him. I have 2 older children so fully aware of the terrible 2s lol. Just I feel like I'm not sure how to get across to him that something is wrong. He headbutts and bites when you change his nappy or try to bath him. I have been introducing flash cards as advised by Portage and been trying to prewarn him that a certain event going to happen. So if I say Time to put your shoes on, now he will give me his feet without so much arguing. Is he just hitting a stubborn stage, typical with 2 yr olds ? I am 29 weeks pregnant so dealing with a stubborn toddler who is unable to walk is becoming more tricky to just carry him everywhere lol. My calm little boy has turned into a nightmare lol. Just want some ideas for making things easier for him to handle. My portage worker suggested some area to put him in when he starts flipping out, similar to naughty step but a safe corner etc. Just I not sure he would stay there and I feel wrong to force him to? I guess I see him as younger than he is and tend to baby him. Any hints or tips for this wonderful age to create a bit of harmony in my house again lol xx
