Yeah all good I think. He certainly hasn't been quite as bad as he was on the day I posted, but hten again, I haven't been doing things the "wrong" way, lol. Might have been worse as he had a bit of a fever for 2 days and was a bit tired also.

Im not laughing or sniggering at all, i can relate totally & have sometimes wondered about OCD, ADD or ADHD or just tall poppy syndrome in Brae (blah- just look at his parents LOL) being a boy in all.. yep, yep that sort of stuff is normal here.

I have no personal experience here but when my younger sister was small mum had to drive past the fire station every day. The thing is there were 2 ways and lucy named them the boys way and the girls way and if mum didn't go the right way she would unconsolable for the rest of the day. Mum ended up having to drive past the fire station about ten times a day to keep her happy. She is a normal (most of the time ) teenager now and has no ocd issues at all (actually more like the opposite you should see the state of her room)]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 21:35:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11933&PID=239844&title=in-the-relms-or-normal-behaviour-or-ocd#239844 <![CDATA[In the relms or normal behaviour or ocd? : That sounds heaps like Hannah....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11933&PID=239644&title=in-the-relms-or-normal-behaviour-or-ocd#239644 Author: busymum

That sounds heaps like Hannah. I've heard it's a common 3yo thing but also a common eldest child thing. Hehe. The basic gist is that a 3yo becomes very comfortable in his/her routines and structures and all the "right ways" and that becomes their stability for their life. Things going the right away; breakfast before lunch; all those things give them a sense of control and security. I wouldn't worry that he's fixated on keeping those things "right" or "in order". We have however noticed that Hannah can go completely off the handle when she is too tired - they're not a good combination and we try to avoid those scenarios then ]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 16:14:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11933&PID=239644&title=in-the-relms-or-normal-behaviour-or-ocd#239644 <![CDATA[In the relms or normal behaviour or ocd? : Sounds soooo much like Dooce&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11933&PID=239623&title=in-the-relms-or-normal-behaviour-or-ocd#239623 Author: nikkitheknitter

Sounds soooo much like Dooce's kiddo, Leta. She's a bit like that and I'm pretty sure they saw all the paeds under the sun and were just told she's a bit high maintenance (like her mother appears to be! hehe karma is a bitch)]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 15:48:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11933&PID=239623&title=in-the-relms-or-normal-behaviour-or-ocd#239623 <![CDATA[In the relms or normal behaviour or ocd? : Josiah used to have major meltdowns...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11933&PID=239293&title=in-the-relms-or-normal-behaviour-or-ocd#239293 Author: daikini

Josiah used to have major meltdowns if he brought us something of ours (like our cellphones) and we put it down! To him, it was ours and he'd "put it away" (so to speak) and we weren't supposed to put it straight back on the table where we wanted it.

I think I am borderline OCD, so we do watch Josiah closely but so far he seems fairly normal. ]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 08:40:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11933&PID=239293&title=in-the-relms-or-normal-behaviour-or-ocd#239293 <![CDATA[In the relms or normal behaviour or ocd? : choooiice thanks guys, good to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11933&PID=239278&title=in-the-relms-or-normal-behaviour-or-ocd#239278 Author: fattartsrock

I think it sounds normal. Kids will try anyway they can to feel they are in some sort of control of a situation so if he sees you responding to the major meltdowns then its a reaction he is liking and will continue with the behaviour IYKWIM. If you are really worried tho go to see your GP. At the end of the day you know him better than anyone and if you are concerned then go with that.

I really don't have an answer but if you are worried get him checked just for your own piece of mind. Mum's usually know if something is a bit off go with your intuition.

I think it still sounds within the realms of normal toddler behaviour...they do like things a certain way!

Ok, don't snigger to much here.

I'm beginning to get a bit alarmed by some behaviour Jake is starting to exhibit.

He's always been a fairly pedantic kid who has to stick to routine or he gets a bit haywire, but this behaviour has stepped up a whole other notch, today worse than I have ever seen, to the point I was quite frightened (mainly for him, lest I maimed him, lol..)

He throws the meanest tantys if something is not where it usually is, or you go the "wrong" way or out a different door or, god forbid, bloody sky tv change the time the wiggles are on.

Normally I can distract him pretty easy, but the last few days he has majorly melted down to the point of hysteria when 1) I had the cd rack in front of a door to stop the wind shutting it when it was meant to be "other way, mummy, other way" against the wall, 2) "Handy Manny" was on the wrong time on sky 3) Charlys sock was on upside down. He was HYSTERICAL, I just couldn't console him, he becomes FIXATED on whatever it is that is bugging him, and I'm a bit worried. I can be a bit "pedantic" as well, bordering on OCD behaviour, so I do worry.

What do you guys think? Within the realms of normal behavior or not so much? (asking now, it takes months and months to get into see anyone here)]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2007 21:13:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11933&PID=239189&title=in-the-relms-or-normal-behaviour-or-ocd#239189
