Is something wrong with my son’s mental health?
He is a month over 2, and has been exhibiting weird behaviors. He is obsessed with mowing and vacuuming. I say obsessed and I mean truly obsessed. He wants to mow outside and have his dad or I mow the real mower next to him. Also, he wants to vacuum over and over and over. Again, he uses his toy one while my husband and I vacuum the real one.
Today after vacuuming the entire house 6 times I stopped, and he had a panic attack.
He was so anxious and upset he didn’t even know what to do with himself. He only calmed down after mowing one more time.
He also turns some of his other toys into mowers and will use those as pretend.
He plays with other toys occasionally and watches cartoons. He also goes to the park and what not and acts ‘normal’ there. But I am worried about this anxious behavior and seeing him have an anxiety attack tonight was concerning. I don’t know if this is normal?
