Just got back from Asda, while there son wrapped his arms and legs around the pole where you put your trolley back and said 'look at me, do i like a sloth' he then began walking VERY slowly back to the car,like a sloth. I said 'can you walk very fast like a cheetah' to hurry him along a little.
So conversation was going well up to this point.
Sat in the car he then tells me he can walk like a cocklin. I tell him i have never heard of one of these before, does it look like a chicken. He replied 'no it looks a like a karachokin.
He then went on to talk about in great detail about cocklins and karachokins and make up further words, until he was making no sense at all.
He does this every day and its getting to the point where about half of our conversations are like this. I try to change the subject or distract him and bring him back to reality, but it just doesnt work and he rambles on endlessly about things that didnt happen or make sense.
Im assuming that he is not the only child to do this, how do or would you handle this?
