this is the answer i get form my DS 2.5 whenever i encourage him to do something for himself especially with regards to getting dressed / undessed. He doesn't say it in a whingy way its a full on shout with a fair amount of aggression. Am i asking too much of him to try and pull his trousers up, pull his top off his head etc?
I know i shouldn't compare him to others but its hard not to especially as his key worker at nursery has commented on his reluctance and negativity and his female cousin, who is the same age, is strides ahead
I give trailer loads of encouragement and praise with anything he does and he is always really proud of a new acheivment but he doesn't want to progess with the dressing lark at all. He is also pretty poor at entertaining himself when i am around (is better when he is with DH ). so i can't help but feel abit frustrated.
I know this sound like a big moan about my lovely DS, and i know he does a million and one wonderful things each day. Should i just shrug and say "oh well, so what"?? but how do i rid myself of the panic that he should be doing these things?
sorry this is long an rambling!!
