Im just wondering if anyone else is expieriencing this with their LO my DS/2.8yrs has what i call an over active imagination
He is scared of loud noises and the dark but also certain stuffed animals, bugs, stepping on certain surfaces(the high gloss/soft floors at botanical gardens), being alone, shadows, and many other random things.. He watches movies at night to go to bed and its hard to find ones he isnt scared of (he was even scared of a fairy on his sisters tinkerbell movie)
He constantly says there is something in the livingroom/kitchen/bathroom/bedroom.
He still wakes 2-5+ times a night and gets very hysterical if he cant reach me (if my doors shut) He was sleeping okay in his bed (he shares a room with his older 4yr old sister) but hes regressed again
he is also very sensitive emotionaly he FREAKS OUT over little things but when he is happy he is SO HAPPY
sometimes he worries me quite a bit because if he gets yelled at he will sometimes curl up in a ball and quiver or just have an emotional out burst (i try to uliminate yelling from his life but DH yells and sometimes his sister yells at him) he has always been emotional as a newborn he cried real tears from birth and he always looked truely hurt/sad when he cried (i also believe the loudness of yelling bothers him)
the other thing he has done more resently is he has become a bit of a picky eater and i try to make him eat what hes given and he will reluctantly let me put a bite in his mouth (giving an effort at trying it) and then kinda gag a little and spit it out... (usually the thing he wont eat is a bite of meat chicken or steak or mooshy foods like potatos or white rice i over cooked a little ...
Oh and He also has a great imagination in general he really gets into imaginary play to wear he insists that he "IS" whatever character hes pretending to be.
I have three kids ages 4.5yrs 2.8yrs and 7mo. and im exhausted because DS never lets me get unbroken sleep he also would go to bed at 11pm. (if i would let him) and get up at 5-6am. he naps once during the day for an hour (no matter how much he sleeps the night before) and otherwise hes not tired or grumpy or anything...
i believe my two other children are gifted as well and between the three of them my heads spinning sometimes i feel like i am in WAY WAY over my head!
i really just need someone to commisorate and tell me they are going through this or have gone through it and it will be okay...
