Is this normal behaviour or what?
😕Someone please help?
Noah is 4 in April.

He repeats himself continously, he honestly never stops talking even if i say hold on one minute he will still be there chattering away after saying ok. He gets side tracked so easily even if its something he's been asking for.
Hes grew some kind of fear of things being too hot /too cold. I give him cold water and he will complain its cold. I give him his dinner its too hot, he either feels too hot or is too cold but he will tell me again and again. He gets into bed and if it feels cold he kicks his legs about for around 5-10 minutes telling me over and over that it's cold. If his clothes are hot as in off a radiator or just normal warmer he gets upset but the same if there too cold.
He struggles to make a decision, if i ask him what food he would like he could spend 5 minutes looking then say anyway I'm not hungry. Often has paddy's/bursts into tears over silly things and if he's upset will flap his hands around and drop to the floor. He don't like dirt/mess as in if we bake he gets upset and wants to go wash his hands.
The nursery have a few times passed comment that he wants to be around grown ups rather than playing with others and would sometimes rather observe.

If you've read through all this then thank you, i probably am just over thinking as usual but i don't know 😕.

He has many things that points towards it but then i guess when you Google anything it tends to be that way and you self diagnose too, it's so hard to define the difference. When did you realise for your 4 yo? X

This sounds a lot like Theo at the moment.
He does not stop talking, he is currently laying in his bed in the room next door chatting away to himself. It starts from the moment he wakes and ends the moment he goes to sleep. He will even answer his own questions.
He can not make a decision, especially regarding dinner. Yesterday he was given the choice of which way to walk home from school (I wont be doing it again), it took him 25 minutes to decide and then he threw a massive tantrum because he didnt want to go the way we went.
Dinner is always "too hot" 🙄
He is also tantruming a lot lately, I have put it down to a few big changes and being stuck with me and his dad for the past year with no other adult interaction.

I would speak to the nursery, they will be happy to discuss any concerns with you and talk you through whether or not they have the same concerns regarding development. Message his teacher and set up an afterschool meeting to discuss everything you're concerned about. Xx

There are so many joys of parenting haha. 25 mins then a tantrum 😐😕 jesus christ! Lol. I think lockdown has made us all a bit crazy too, i guess I've had more time for 1 on 1 time with the kids too, as my husband has been off work.. So I've noticed and picked up on things i may of once overlooked if that makes sense. I'm hoping they reply on tapestry, as it's part of a school ide have to ring the school office to give them a msg to give to the nursery to call me. So I'm hoping to be able to talk / arrange a mtg through that hopefully. Xx

Id say its normal
...

Charlie wants atleast 5 optioms with every food choice... to then pick the first one.
He says he's hungry then once ive made it says its too fresh.

He talks away and won't give me 2 minutes to myself... not evem for a wee.
I explain im goimg for a wee ill be 30 seconds.. my foot touches the bottom step amd hes going mad for me...

I love him to pieces but hes very adult becasue hes with me all the time and it leads him to be either very stubborn or talkinh about nothing and everything constantly.

He doesnt wana sit and play he would rather mess with things or sit and "have a cup of cha and a chat" his words...

As im writing this im trying to get him to.sleep while he asks me how to spell the word ten... !

Id say if you look.for faults you find them when there ismt any and id say he was being just himself and theres nothing to.worry abiut xxx

This is my concern that maybe it really is just normal and its me worrying too much as usual. But then i go back and forth and just wonder. If we go out to the park for a walk he would rather just stay with us instead of running off and playing with his sister /brother too. He absolutely hates loud music but he also suffers with recurrent ear infections and is awaiting a referral since Sept last year so i always blamed that but there so many things that point towards it.
Parenthood isn't for the fainthearted is it?! Lol xx

@lisao9313 them things to me dont sound worrying but you are his mum and mums do have an intuition.
But on the other side us mums do all the worrying.

If hes had issues with ears then i wouldn't blame him for being cautious of sound.. amd the playing in the park scenario... when i was a kid id of rather sat with my mum than run off and go and play... he may not be massively outgoing yet, i was always the shy kid sat in the corner when my sister was off dancing and playing.

I think often these days proffesionals can be quick to add labels when every child is different and as long as they are meeting milestones and healthy then I'd try to worry less and embrace that xx

@lisao9313, Can you call them just call and say something like hi I wanted to check in and let you know how Noah is getting on with him being unwell, I also wanted to ask if you have any concerns with his development? You could also phone the gp and tell them your concerns xxx

Because I've already left a msg on tapestry I'm going to leave it till Monday, to see if they reply. It's part of a school and no direct number for the actual nursery so it's a pain. If they agree i will definitely get in contact with health visitor or Dr's though. Xx
