My 17 month old son has seen a specialist at the hospital and now has to go for a hearing test and also speech/language therapy. He will say 'Mama' 'Gagagaga' 'Eight' (I have to count to 10 while putting his nappy on because he won't keep still and tries to start a tantrum and somehow he just picked up the word lol), ' Babababa' ..and 'yaaaayaaay' whilst clapping hands but not a lot else. He won't sit still to 'read' a book with me, so story time is really hard work.
Health visitor is also coming out in a few weeks to monitor him around the house as she thinks he is a 'very busy baby' and his half brother has ADHD..
Spencer is very busy all the time, he doesn't listen when I tell him that things are 'dangerous', 'hot', 'No', etc. if he can't get his own way he will throw himself back on the floor really hard or bang his head against the door/wall/highchair.
I don't take him to playgroup anymore as the other mothers used to look down their noses at him and it's really quite hard to control him in such a busy environment. It makes me feel like a bad mother. I also try to avoid parties, etc. because it gets so stressful.
Just wondered if anyone else has been through similar and would kindly share their experiences please, as I am very anxious.
Thanks x
