Is it normal for a 6 year old boy to act like a 3 year old because that what my brother does. People always ask me if my brother's 3 and I say no he's 6 and people are shocked. (No he does not have any mental problems)
whats the diffrence between a 6 year old acting like a 3 year old and a 26 year old acting like a 23 year old?
Or maybe he is just to lazy to learn to speak? Jk lol. Idfk see wat hes doin wen hes older
He needs to spend more time with kids his age.
You are cuddling him.STOP CUDDLING HIM!
It's probably too late now.He just enjoys being treated like a three year old.Because that's how your mum or dad treat him.He gets away with things by looking like and behaving like a three year old and being cute.And your parents let him.It's a common strategy used by some children.Behaving as if they were younger in the presence of an educator.Of an authority figure.Your parents get fooled by it,but strangers,who don't really give a damn,don't.
He is afraid of losing your parents attentions by growing up.And he pretty much enjoys you being in charge.Soon enough,he'll start having troubles getting along with other children his age.Seriously:
You need a super nanny.
DAMN YOU!SUPER NANNY!
Wow. I really hope I'm misunderstanding this one.
Did you really say to stop cuddling him?? Cuddling, like, hugging? You're saying the solution is to stop showing a SIX YEAR OLD CHILD love and affection?
Part of what is wrong with kids these days is that they are not shown enough unconditional love. Particularly boys. Studies show that parents stop hugging their sons at a lot younger age than their daugthers. Just because they are male, doesn't mean they don't deserve and require love. FFS.
No, I am not saying a child should be allowed to get a way with bad behaviour. However. Bad behaviour is best treated by looking for and treating the cause and not the symptoms. This can be from a huge range of things, it can be a culmination of many things, too.
Potentials I could see for this (irrelevant as this is an old post, but hey, might help someone else who has a look): change in situation - kids are easily upset and scared by changes like new house, new sibling, whatever. Behavioural disorder - it could be an undiagnosed/unmanaged disorder. OP doesn't give enough of the boys behaviour to really go into much on that. Difficult temperament - some kids are born being just a little harder to guide and raise. Other kids are easy.
Failing that, he's six. Six year olds can be little buggers. And the OP is his older sibling. Older siblings get annoyed at their younger siblings. I know that in my eyes, my brother was subhuman and clearly in need of psychiatric rehabilitation until he was about 14. Reality of the situation, there was nothing wrong with him, he just knows how to push my buttons.
How do you know he doesn't have any mental problems?
and P.S. you gotta elaborate more
it depends..what does he do that makes people think he's younger? do your parents still baby him? if so, that could explain a lot.
My cousin is 5 1/2 and acts like he is 2 1/2. Can't talk properly and the way he behaves and plays in generally like a 2 1/2 year old.
was he stimulated as a toddler? like were books read to him. did he get alot of attention from your parents? did he have learning toys? has there been a new addition to the family since? i think we need a bit more info... what does he do that makes u think he acts like a toddler?
