Calling all mums.. I need help!!

[Hollie-x]

Shiv you have my sympathy you must be at your wits end. I don't think he needs to see a shrink as the creche are suggesting but can I ask is he having these bouts of tantrums at nursery because he is bored.

I don't mean to be cheeky but is he being kept active enough, I don't think he has ADHD but I do think he is more advanced than some of the kids at the creche and the toys and games they play he has got bored with and are not challenging enough for him. What age is Charlie now is there anyway you could take him out of this creche and put him in a pre-school nursery. My sister had a terrible time with my nephew and one of the things that set him of was pure orange juice so may be he has a food/drink allergy that you are not aware of.

My sister was the same with her son he is now 29 and he was forever bitting and kicking her. One of the main problems was he wouldn't sleep he would go to bed around mindnight and be up bright-eyed at 5am again. The doctor put him on valium syrup at 18months old even now he gets up at 4am and goes out to work or to take photographs.

I'm not a mum yet obv but my mum was a childminder for 13 years up until a few years ago and she looked after one little girl who's behaviour was a lot like the behaviour you're describing and in the end the doctor said it's because she's too advanced for her age. From being a baby she used to cry constantly because she wanted to be doing things. For example when she was about 9/10 months old it was near impossible to get her to sit anywhere because she wanted to be walking when she couldn't - it was as if she wanted to be independant and do things for herself and got really frustrated when she couldn't and would often lash out as she got older as a result because she wanted to find things more challenging - as Chloe said.

Now she's in school and going to year 1 after summer and already she is top of her class and they were thinking of moving her up into the next year because of how able she is for her age.

Hope you get sorted (: x
