[QUOTE="SRL, post: 306843, member: 701"] Hi desertdad. I would say occasional aggression could be considered normal but that constant aggression isn't. If he's showing signs of some speech delays along with having problems functioning in the daycare setting I think it would be a good idea to have an evaluation done on him. As parents none of us here can tell you what's going on with the little guy but I will mention that the fact that he's having social problems plus isn't speaking much is an indicator that the evaluation should include checking for possible Autistic Spectrum Disorders as these are red flags. The place to start would be with the child's pediatrician and if they won't listen find one who will. Is he getting speech therapy? Usually doctors are jumping on speech delays by age 2 these days. Are his interests typical of a three year old boys? Any behavioral problems or unusual behaviors happening at home? I'm sorry that this information probably won't go very far in relieving your wife's anxiety but take it from those of us who've been there: it's better to be working towards some answers than to sit there confused and helpless over behavioral issues. Thumbs up for the vacation you plan on giving her when you get back. And a sincere thanks for your service. SRL [/QUOTE]
