Hi girls i do warn this could be a bit long and drawn out so please bare with me....
My son Ethan will be 3 in december and i am getting really worried about him. First of all his speech is a bit concerning! he copies most words but cannot put them together for even the smallest sentence.. Now maybe i am being over worried but he starts pre school monday and i am so worried no one will know what he means...Also i am starting to worry about ADHD, it runs in my DH's family(his brother has it) and we are suspecting my DH himself actually has it, He shows lots of signs of it but due to being 28 i dont know if he could of been diagnosed as a kid.
Ethan does not sit still for 2 minutes and is always hyper...I mean for around 12 hours a day non stop, he is always climbing and running. He also gets overly excited for no reason at all and screams with pure joy at the most simple things. He is always fidgeting and will not sit and do a simple task with me for more than 2 minutes(flash cards for example) he will just get up and start bouncing up and down or run off and ignore me. Then there are the tantrums! he will have a total hissy if nothing goes his way, he will throw things about and just scream...His temper really is terrible. I mean beyond terrible 2's!
My life really is non stop running around after Ethan as given the chance he will climb out of the front room window and leg it,,,get out the dog flap and run about in the yard or just climb on a table and hurt himself.
My daughter(from a different dad) was totally different at Ethans age and alot calmer but still a typical happy child, but Ethan just seems really hard work...I adore him for who he is and would never change him but i am really worried for his sake more than anything.
I know if he has got it that no one will take me seriously until he is 5! but what am i supposed to do until then? Please would anyone who has gone through this give me some advice as i am so worried about what to do next. Thanks so much in advance Leah x
