He's been using sentences and phrases that are totally new lately. But also threenager emotions, ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-my-wits-end-1#post-2763803 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 10:35:08 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2763803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioneyes: My BFF's oldest was delayed in speech, and this was her biggest sign that he was about to have a burst. It's like his brain is developing and can't process it all, so his behavior suffered greatly. It would happen for about 3 weeks, and then suddenly, it was like a switch flipped. He would be talking up a storm and his behavior calmed. She always knew that it was a storm she had to weather right before his language burst came. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-my-wits-end-1#post-2763799 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 10:31:34 +0000 pwnstar 2763799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me, it sounds like now that things have started to calm down, he may just be releasing pent up emotions from all of the transitions . . . sort of like kids sometimes do at the end of the day after (daycare) pickup. It may be why he feels more comfortable staying closer to home and why he's unhappy going places he would probably otherwise be excited about. </p> <p>Also, it couldn't hurt to have him seen by a Ped ENT or have the Ped re-check his ears. It sounds totally normal though--I hope it passes quickly and that you get your sweet boy back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-my-wits-end-1#post-2763795 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 10:28:09 +0000 lioneyes 2763795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2peasinapod Oh that's helpful. LO is speech delayed about 6-8 months ( :crying: ) and his Speech Therapist said she has seen a lot of progress in the past few weeks. I definitely am getting a lot more language from him recently so maybe that will be the silver lining. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-my-wits-end-1#post-2763789 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 10:21:48 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2763789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's just a phase as well. We've gone through it with LO1. He might be going through a growth spurt or about to have a language burst. It always seems like they act out right before something like that happens, and then it's like night and day. I just wanted to say to stick with it and hoping it passes soon for you. Just continue to try to stay consistent with all of the things you're doing and stick with your routine. He'll settle in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-my-wits-end-1#post-2763787 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 10:19:22 +0000 gingerbebe 2763787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its just a threenager thing. My son is 35 months and he's just escalated the last few weeks to being SO manic and emotional. My husband laid on the floor last night and was like "I can't take it!"</p> <p>Solidarity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-my-wits-end-1#post-2763786 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 10:15:50 +0000 lioneyes 2763786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help! LO is being so difficult these past 2 weeks!<br /> He is finished with summer camp, and I am at my wit's end. For the past 10 days, he has been flipping out when we go places and refusing to get out of the stroller. I'm talking about the playground, the splashpad, and worst of all, MY PARENTS' HOUSE. He will try to re-buckle himself in and yell NO GO LEAVE. He is not a tantrum-er (if he does it like 30 seconds and he can easily be redirected) but this has been setting him off where he will cry uncontrollably, but want to be hugged/held and will calm down but not REALLY stop crying until we go. My parents are so worried and it's worrying me (he has no issue when they come over to our house, and he is happy to engage with them).<br /> Also, he isn't as interested in playing, just in touching things he shouldn't and trying to get into stuff. He definitely is suffering from seasonal allergies (keeps poking in his ears and saying MY EARS, sticking his finger and pacifier all the way back in his mouth, has red cheeks and lowgrade fever, at doctor today AND 2 weeks ago they said his ears are fine but he has a sore throat), and we have an appointment with an allergist in a month to see about strategies other than OTC meds, which don't help.<br /> The last time he acted this way was over the winter when he was suffering from back to back ear infections, but that's not what this is.<br /> I know he has been through a lot of change this summer (moved to a new house, started a new camp, just started eating dinner at the table again bc of move) and he has really handled it all so well. But this stuff is driving me nuts but moreso making me worried. Anyone else dealt with this stuff? is it normal? </p>
