I actually wondered Bec whether anyone has been talking to him and being careful with his things now that your youngest is likely to be moving around more (ie don't leave your lego on the ground where the baby can get it, don't play with the beanbag zip the baby could choke...)? I know my DD1 (who is ten) went through a nervous nellie stage when our DD2 started crawling and it was because we were nagging her about making sure the baby was safe. Or have they been talking about safety at kindy/preschool? It wouldn't be hard for the whole question of 'safety/unsafety' to creep into his psyche.
My DS almost 4 went through a period few months back after they had visits from the police and fire fighters at his preschool... he was freaked out that if he was bad that the police would get him and that when he saw fire (like from the stove) that the house would burn down and he's tart crying and get down low and crawl to the door.... I thought it was something from the TV til i saw pics up at preschool and asked them and found out that an older boy had asked the plice what they do with Bad people... And the fire fighters talked about what to do in a fire...
Also our dog when we moved house got a bad case of fleas...we think the previous owners pets had them... grrrrr.... Anyways i get bad reactions to the dog (from the fleas... i told him that they were little nits and he freaked out for weeks after that things were biting him in his bed (after i treated the dog's bed) Once i treated his bed (washed his sheets with his help) he calmed down. I find the smallest of things cause triggers
Marydean I think it may be along the lines of the new baby. i think I rely on him too much to be the big person and he is just worrying about everything. tonight he got into a state because chloe was throwing something around the loungeroom and he thought she was going to break something. I think i've put too much responsibility on the poor little fella . So we had a chat about it being for me to worry about and he doesn't need to worry about that stuff. We'll see.
