Hello, I'm new to this section but I wonderd if anyone could offer me any advice. Oliver is nearly 14months old. I have noticed over the past couple of months his behaviour seems to be getting more obsured, and difficult. He has lots and lots of really bad temper tantrums, he's excessively clingy and wants to be held most of the day. He will have periods of crying, moaning and even screaming at me sometimes for an unknown reason. Sometimes i have to hold him tight and rock him to calm him down. He rocks and bangs anything he can get hold of-chairs, cabinets, cupboards, doors, drawers...and he'd sooner do that then play with his toys alot of the time. He seems to get bored easilly and doesnt like cuddles much. Today he's been touching things he shouldnt and slamming/rocking and banging everything in sight and as much as i'm always telling him no he continues to do it and acts like i'm not even there. I even lost my temper a few times and raised my voice and have tried giving him a little tap on the hand and he doesnt even acknowlege me.He likes to look at lights and will try grab a lamp if he is within reach of one and has this thing about climbing up things-including people. Today he was actually trying to climb the walls- literally. He never used to sleep at night either until last month he would be awake screaming all night long. I thought all this was just a phase he might be going through but having done nurse training learning disibilities studies, i'm concerned it might be ADHD. Don't get me wrong he is a lovely, happy little boy but i just dont know whats going on here. What do you all think? x
