Does anyone else have an EXTREMELY rough child?
My 3 year old has always been extremely active and high energy. Even as an infant he would be awake ALL day just curious about everything. He never learned to walk. He immediately just started running at age 1. He never walks, he just runs. He does everything extremely clumsily and rough. He is constantly falling or hurting himself and is covered in bruises. It doesn’t seem to bother him! He doesn’t play with other children “normally”, he is pushing them, leaning on them, wrestling them, kicking them, etc. But he’s not meaning to be mean. He’s laughing and smiling during this, thinking he’s playing nicely. He is constantly pushing his 1 year old brother and doesn’t understand when I tell him to stop. He says “but I’m playing mommy”. No matter how often I show him how to play GENTLY he just doesn’t get it. I model nice behavior and show him. But he’s just so naturally ROUGH. He even hugs roughly. He’ll jump into you and butt heads with you or squeeze you entirely too tightly. Like a baby bull or something. Does anyone else have a child like this?! Please tell me they eventually learn how to calm down.
