thats kinda funny, kale has been doing that to, he's about 21 months and he plays up the shy, not so much the screaming but very clingy, day care may help but that might also make him cling to you more when you go places although i do think its a good idea to get him interacting with other kids, i def think that you should set time aside for just him, try going to places and sit down let him stand or sit beside you while you comfort him maybe have him more involved with his sister that could always help other than that if kale is really fiting and i cant handle it i sit him by him self and tell him that when he's ready to come out and be a sociable boy that he can come out also maybe let him bring his fav toy that'll make him be more comfortable (blanket or teady's works to)

you probably thought about this already but maybe LUke is alittle jealous and that's why he's started acting out?? He knows he is no longer the baby of the family... maybe you could start having mommy/luke time every day where you guys go on a walk alone together and see if that makes life a little easier..good luck lady!

Well, I have a friend and her son is 25 months old and whenever they go anywhere, he's so attached to her for about 35 minutes. He screams and cries if she puts him down. He just wants to be held by his mother...But after awhile he warms up and plays. Maybe your son is just shy, or maybe it's just a phase? I know I'm not a big help and I'm not giving any advice... but I do wish you luck.

Oh boy! It sounds like he has some stranger anxiety. Instead of part-time day care, I would suggest taking him on outings to the park, storytime at your local library or bookstore, etc. You could also find a playgroup with children his age. The more you take him out, expose him to various situations and new different people, he may become more tolerant and not as "freaked out" This could also be a phase and maybe nothing will completely help. Another thing, maybe he feels overstimulated in new situations and with alot of people especially strangers. When you go to the family reunion, it may help him if you find a quiet and calm place for him every now and then, just so he can settle down and you can reassure him that everything is okay.

I too am a stay at home mom, and I don't know that taking him to a daycare is the answer...but I do think the interaction with other kids is good...preschool would come into play there when he is 3...what I would do is show him pictures of who he will be seeing and visiting and try to build up some excitment of what will take place...then let him pack up a small backpack of familiar things, favorite stuffed animal, coloring book, blankie, a favorite toy...whatever he would like that might make him feel alittle more comfortable while he is there. Good luck, I hope things go smoothly. Take care ~ Angela

your son is very young but it is important that he is around other children so he can develop his social skills....It may just be that he tends to "freak out" when he is around new people that he isn't familiar with yet....
Daycare/Childcare sounds like a good alternative....I would suggest showing him photos of the family he will visit and talk to him about the special trip your family plans on making so he can familiarize himself a bit....Get him use to the idea and make him feel comfortable with being around others he isn't too familiar with....Hope all works out for the best....Keep me posted....
| 24-7-2008 - I need all your advice PLEASE!! |  My mood while writing this blog:stressed |
Okay ladies I am throwing my hands up and begging for some advice. We have a family reunion coming up soon and I am stressing about Luke (22 months) and his behavior. We will be traveling out of town and I would like to have a plesant trip. He has been FREAKING out when ever we go to visit anyone. We went to my inlaws last weekend and he pretty much screamed the entire visit, I took it as he was uncomfortable. They are not very involved in his life. Well I can only imagine how he will act at a family reunion full of people he doesn't know. How can I help him to chill out with out ripping my hair out, sweating to death, turning red and crying (all at once)?
Do you think part time day care will help? I'm not sure if they even have that in my area. I am a stay at home mom and maybe he is to used to being just with his immediate family.
ANY advice will be MUCH appreciated!!
We have 3 other children and friends with children, he has not acted this way in the past. He goes and visits people this is just recent behavior. Suddenly he is acting this way.
