Ok, so DS is 4.5yrs. He is usually a very happy go lucky child, very laid back and is quite intelligent. He is a sensitive child at times, but no more than the normal mummy's boy either. He is just a total pleasure to have and I am such a lucky mummy.

BUT

the last few days his behaviour has REALLY changed. He has started bursting into tears for no reason, and cant' tell me why, he just sobs "I don't know why". Either that or he tells me he is sad, and doesn't know why. He is constantly wanting my attention and affection and gets into a real state over scratches and tiny little marks on his body. The other day a toy with beanbag beans in it spilt and he has been freaking out of these 'pom-poms' (he calls them) getting into his nose and ears???!!! Oh and then he put his undies and socks on and told me he was scared they had broken glass in them??!!! And his latest one today is telling me (in between sobs) he is having scary dreams, when he is obviously awake!

I just don't know what to do or think!! It is all so out of character for him. I've been racking my brains trying to think of a trigger for it all but I just can't. DH and I are both really worried about it. So much so I'm thinking about asking my friend who is a psychologist to have a chat with us all maybe.

Anyone have any suggestions??
