[quote=Anonymous]OP, you really shouldn't be alarmed or reassured by people's responses. We don't know your child. All sorts of difficult behaviors are "normal," "typical," and "common" in young kids. Is it a sign of something serious in yours? I think you have to ask yourself is your child struggling more than his peers, is the quantity of negative interactions surprising, is the quality/degree of child's reactions surprising? Does child need some support? I always think that step one is to support the child and find ways for child to be successful. Your child sounds stressed to me. It may very well be because he is the youngest in the class. Maybe he could use more downtime, more structure, more modeling of expressing his feelings. These are pretty straightforward first-step interventions that don't require or assume any sort of diagnoses. [/quote]
