Our 4 yo does not seem happy with new children. He mostly wants to take the toy or thing they have, does not seem relaxed or playful and basically looks a little bit angry they're even around him. Can cry easily, is a bit better with kids he knows but stil not great.
I want to stop taking him around many kids, new kids or crowded places.
Has moderate SID,
is this what most ofyou see also?
No, it's not what I saw. This just sounds like a temperment issue to me. I saw running around, lack of focus, not listening, not following instructions, easily over-stimulated, and minimal emotional control at age 4. Perhaps your son is an introvert. Perhaps he is a sensitive child.What I saw with my daughter at that age was constant movement (running, climbing), bouncing from one activity to another, and impulsiveness. She would also not listen, and would become overstimulated easily around other children. She would try to be nice to them, want to play with them, but at the same time had little tolerance for their behaviors. Her feelings are still easily hurt by other kids. Has your child been around other children very much? I think that I would continue to take him where there are other children, but he might do better where there is some structure, such as preschool.With the social issues and SID, have you had him thoroughly evaluated?
I have ADHD, and I was always social, still am, a bit awkward socially, but social, so I didn't see what you describe within myself either.
I do see similar things in my son though who is being evaluated for Aspergers. He has sensory issues as well, and only likes to be around children if he can use them for a purpose that suits him, like for their toys, or for an opponent to a game, etc. Beyond that, he doesn't do well socially.
I would mention what's going on to his doctor.
Good luck!
when i was that age my symptoms were always moving, never listening, bad
