Has your ds had his hearing tested? that might cause some of his problems and perhaps because of his difficulties he feels he has to try harder and is a bit of an attention seeker. I think all children are different and some is just bad immature behaviour that they grow out of.

Thanks ladies for your advice i feel a little better today im going to ask the teacher directly today does she think he has a learning difficulty x

i am from din hun x 21 weeks today yay x

Hi to me he sounds normal all children are different, my son used to block everyone else out when playing and they were worried at first as he played by himself all the time he did start making friends towards the end of the year but he still liked to play by himself a lot even through primary he prefferred his own company and was just level. Now my 5yr old who will be 6next month she is the opposite she loves everyone and will go to anyone and doesn't see danger in fact i went out for the umteenth time to tell her to get in the garden with her bike that she has only just got she flys down the street doesn't brake and goes straight out onto road at the bottom i went mental. I say don't do this you will fall, her reply is no i won't, little sod. She was a very late talker didn't say one word until she was 3and half then she spoke but no one could understand her. She still is very lazy in her speech she will say cut instead of put but i know she can say it, she also says things back to front ie car park she will say par cark and long scentences back to front. She still doesn't know all her alphabet but she is getting there can only read very simple words has only just learnt to count to 20 without getting mixed up, but she is a good drawer so i think she is more artistic, she is very hyper she fidgets a lot the teachers have to put her to the front to keep an eye on her, she is like it in both places shcool and home, but she has lots of friends a never ending list of parties, so no problem there. It is just she is a little behind, i think some schools are too quick to label but then you hear of others that don't do enough so who knows. My eldest daughter saw a psycho at school as she was very nasty with her tongue and upset a lot of children and still can be nasty she is now 12, 13next month but all children are different all mine have been completely different i have 4. I would let the psycho see him it won't hurt him and it isn't as bad as it sounds, get his/her opinion but to me he sounds normal, so try not to worry. Sharon x

hiya do you mean he has to be first to have everything?

your son sounds like my daughter she is 5 and from very young I had concerns with her, she is speech delayed, and has just had grommets fitted for glue ear, this has helped with not having to repeat everything we say to her. she doesn't see any danger and I have to keep on telling her that the cooker is hot or the iron is hot but if her sister went to touch it she would shout at her to say don't touch its hot. we have to also see a educational pshcoligest (sp). she is below peers in some things but she has a great memory and is so loving almost to the stage as this can be a worry as she thinks everyone is her friend and wants to hug and kiss them. she has also done silly things to her sister like grabbed her around the neck and tried to get her to do a roly poly.

sorry to ramble on p.s are you from din?

i forgot to mention when we are getting toys out he sort of stands in front as to block the others out . iykwim even with food

right heres a description

my son is a lovely boy but he hasnt got the same maturity of his peers his teachers say he wont play with his peers but at home he will play with his younger siblings very loudly he can be disruptive at home and sometimes no matter how many times you tell him to quite down and sit he ends up being sent upstairs as he keeps on and on .he sleeps very well he was a slow talker he wears glasses and he also was treated for glue ear . When i ask him waht he had for dinner or how was school he cant tell me but my 3 year can . i love him to bits but sometimes when cuddling his brothers he will say why dont you love me ? his teacher s are concerned and i have taken him to a pead only to be told theres nothing wrong but now they want a school phyc to see him . He is very slow to get dressed in the morning and i may have to tell him 40 times and watch him until hes completely dressed he steals food from other children . He is not violent and never intends to hurt his brothers for no reason but sometimes without relising what hes doing he does crazy thing like coveriing there face with a blanket and sitting on it x

please help me the teachers think something up but after reading your other thread things i thought were normal just stood out
