[QUOTE="bzymomto4, post: 113326, member: 4477"] My 5 yr old is very much the way my 16 yr old was when he was little. As I talk about one of them having odd, and worring about it in the other, they were both quiet, placid infants, easy to transport and very flexible. my 5 yr old rarely cried as a baby, even to eat. I always thought it was because I had been a labor and delivery nurse who was nursing a 4th baby, so naturally I picked up on feeding cues quickly. My 5 yr old has had a full evaluation by a developmental pediatrician at the U of R as a result of his kindergarten screening. screeners thought he had selective mutism ( he does come from a very long line of shy kids) The developmental pediatrician said that all he was just shy , all he needed was a teacher to wink at him. He loves to play with other kids and historically has made friends very easily, I think now he takes a little longer with that than he used to. He generally will not talk to adults unless they are very engaging or pretty 20 yr olds with big smiles. He hasn't expressed any complaints with physical sensations or bothersome noises, but he is peticular about germs. doesn't like anyone touching his drinking glass, food, or other similar utensils. he also doesn't like kisses, except on the far side of his cheek. about 6 months following his developmental evaluation we had an evaluation done by the school psychologist as part of getting the Occupational Therapist (OT) services. He felt like J should have trauma counseling as a result of the nanny's - but it's very hard to get an available p doctor to see you if your child isn't cutting themselves. he said j is very oppositional and at risk when he gets to school - I kept him home from kindergarten for an extra year. He will have difficulty getting along with teachers and compling with classroom rules. fortunatly we have gotten some great adults into his life this year which I am hoping will help. He adores his nursery school teacher, his skating instructor, Occupational Therapist (OT), and swimming teacher. with the exception of nursery school, these are all private lessons and i truly hope they let him trust again.
