Also journal the "independence type behavior, your responce, and his responce." You may be able to give him more meaningful work to do in his world, and more independence is some ways.

Also, talk to his preschool. When is the summer break? If he is with agemates, it may be very disturbing to him.

Tell us more...
Best Wishes,
Trinity
