That sounds pretty similar to what he is doing. We have a conference coming up with his daycare teachers. I will see what they think :) All of our good friends have very calm cautious girls...I am the only one with a rambunctious boy, so I don't have a lot to compare to haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-verbal-noises-when-excited#post-2658354 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 22:10:15 +0000 Madison43 2658354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not particularly loud but my 3 yo will sometimes make this glutteral ugh ugh sound when she's excited, and now that I think about it, it almost always happens when there is a new adult around. I think of it as shyness and excitedness manifesting in one weird noisy way :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-verbal-noises-when-excited#post-2658336 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 21:09:26 +0000 Canoli 2658336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 5 year old sometimes does this. In regards to strangers I think it's a combination of being shy and maybe awkwardness. He also can get very hyper and run around making noises too. I have always chalked it up to him being excited but not properly knowing how to express himself. Other times I think it is attention seeking. He has 2 younger brothers so it's hard for us to give equal attention. I will say it has gotten better now that he is a little older and we are starting to see signs of him maturing. It doesn't hurt to mention it to your OT. I have had countless conversations with my sons daycare teacher about his behavior mostly related to his not following directions and acting extremely silly when not appropriate because I was concerned about ADD or something. You are his advocate and I feel like if you're concerned it's worth mentioning. Go with your gut, you've got nothing to lose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-verbal-noises-when-excited#post-2658294 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 18:55:48 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2658294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone else have a child who screeches, grunts, squeals, and makes other loud noises when very excited, even though they are perfectly capable of talking?</p> <p>LO is 3.5 and has an excellent vocabulary, speaks in full sentences, etc. But when he is excited he completely stops talking and just makes non-verbal noises instead. I don't know if he is trying to baby-talk like his 21 month old sister, or if he is too excited to form sentences, or if there is something to be concerned about here?</p> <p>I think the oddest time he does this is when he meets a stranger. When we are out in public, often he cannot make sentences to talk to new people, he just squeals at them instead. If I prompt him with a sentence, he will sometimes repeat it, but sometimes just continues with the babbling. </p> <p>We worked with an OT this summer for some sensory processing issues...I am wondering if I should give her a call or if this is normal development? </p>
