tjw Report post Posted August 18, 2008 hello my ds george seems to be having a bad time at the moment with his emotions, he keeps crying and when we ask him why he says he dosent know he feels confused cannot tell us what is wrong,but 2nite he told me he didnt wont me to go to work anymore and to stay with him (makes me feel guilty i only work p/t) and i make sure this is in school time only i cannot take the whole 6 wks off as work wont allow,he gos to nanny and grandad when i am at work and has had this routine since a baby so nothing new they, but he was playing with his moonsand today for about 5 mins and i had to bath him straight away due to him freaking out about being dirty(which he wasnt) he just seems to be getting withdrawn and going into himself a bit more which is concerning because he is such a chatty little soul,same at the weekend didnt wont to go out at all, we always do something on a weekend as afamily but he did not wont to do nothing not even his beloved golf and bowling, it is just a bit upsetting at mo seeing him like this, just thought i would come on here tonite and have a chat it gets it out of my brain for a few mins putting it down in writing,thanks for lisening to me theresa x ps had good news on thursday doctor has refered us so things should start moving now with an assessment.

NickyB Report post Posted August 18, 2008 Hi theresa Hopefully it's just a phase he's going through. It can be so hard trying to understand what's going on emotionally I'm not sure how old george is, but I know that both my sons get tired in the holidays as they go to bed late, and little DS finds it hard not having a routine, and it can make them both quite emotional. Don't know if that helps, but it was just a thought. Hope things get better soon. Nicky x <'> <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just one long guilt trip, isn't it? I think the routine of school will help - hang on in there and don't beat yourselves up about it. Really must get to bed now. Good night. <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
