[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of people replying to the thread haven't had a kid like OPs. My first was/is like this. It was so difficult! Screamed bloody murder over nothing, super clingy and whiny. All day every day. I had to put him in a MDO at 18 months to maintain my sanity. People gaslighted me all the time saying this is just how little kids are etc.

It has gotten better over time OP, slowly. He is 4.5 now. A lot of it was anxiety, as others have shared. He's also very sensitive in general which probably feeds into it. Luckily he's outgrown a lot of it. He started playing on his own around age 3 and that has only gotten better. He now makes friends easily. He still has anxious tendencies but he can be talked down a lot easier at this age vs just screaming immediately when younger.

FWIW, my second is 1 next month and totally different. Not sensitive, not anxious, happy to entertain herself. EASY. So I really don't think you're just "not remembering correctly" or whatever. Some kids really are more difficult than others. [/quote]
