ah babe, you aren't doing anything wrong. He'll come round, it's truely just a stage. Some kids are just like that. I'm up to my second and he's only just coming around to going to his dad consistently.
My DD was shocking at it to the point where people blamed me, and would walk away with her to prove that I was the one doing the wrong thing.
She is now a bright outgoing, friendly, little girl.
Adults get quite taken aback when forced to face/deal with their fears, so why one earth do we force it on small defenceless children?
Thanks so much for reading my post and for your replies, it is comforting to know that it is not just DS and that he will get better as he gets older.
Kim, thanks for your comments, that is what people are doing to me, trying to walk away with him and making me feel like it is something I am doing to make him be like that
I have told my DH tonight...no more! Bad luck if other people don't like it, he will adjust in his own time.
Don't stress about him at all.... My eldest was exactly like that. Even as a toddler he still didn't like strangers coming up to him. I used to think it was hilarious that a stranger would come up and try to engage him in a conversation then say something stupid like, oh doesn't he talk. It was more a case of actually he just hates people who he doesn't know shoving their face in his personal space! He was a lovely chatty and friendly little boy with people he knew and trusted but with anyone else, he would just look at me as if to say "WTF??"
