[QUOTE="sadbear, post: 48656, member: 3686"] Ok, after another terrible week with Alfie I've returned for some more advice. To be honest I felt kinda guilty even writing on here because I feel like i'm labelling him a 'problem'. I dont know a lot of family history but my father in law is epileptic & has suffered a nervous breakdown within the last ten years.Alfie's speech is understandable but by no means advanced. I cant think of any unusual developments although Alfie loves insects and snails.His sleep patterns are also fairly good. He is overbearingly clingy to me, cries when i leave him at school, demands that I take him to bed not Daddy, wont walk anywhere, wants me to carry him. I have found him throwing books at his younger brother & asking 'does that hurt' I also caught him trapping the babies foot in a video case & pushing it shut. This is all just in 1 week. Every bedtime he pulls all the covers off his bed, takes clothes & coathangers all out of his wardrobe & has destroyed most of his books. He rarely stays dressed more than a few hours & refuses to even attempt to dress himself. He cries when his siblings wont play with him but he cant or wont play nicely with them. Do you think i should take him to the doctors? if so, what do I say. My mother-in law just says his dad was exactly the same & I just have to live with it. Please help [img]:frown:[/img] [/QUOTE]
