He is otherwise normal and affectionate with his mother and members of the family.. He learns rhymes and words with interest and shows terrible memory... He also likes rhymes but shows some emotion toward some tones appearing to be melancholic..
His father is estranged with his mother and staying with his parents... And his mother is a working woman who however spends most of her leisure with the child and teaches him words, songs etc...

I currently work with children ages 1-6 (through play therapy). I am working on my masters in psychology and can tell you that in order to answer this question more information is needed. Such as the age of the child, if he has siblings, is he living in a single parent home? Your grandsons background and history is important, these give clues as to why he behaves the way he does. Also if he has any health issues or had any when he was born? When it comes to a child, environment is everything and of course alot of information is needed in order to appropriately evaluate and assess the situation. Without all of this info one runs the risks of psychopathologizing. This means a giving out a diagnosis only for the sake of diagnosing. It is a form of "labeling" a sickness or saying that something is wrong with someone when it is actually nothing wrong with them. Psychopathologizing, in particular, can devastate a child's life. Please update your question with more detail, or even better, seek a trained professional that specializes in working with children. Such as a child psychologist or school psychologist. Within one meeting with you they may be able to explain what your grandson may be experiencing and how to help him.

Maybe he is just sensitive, gets scared by the big doll and is moved by the music. Also, kids can be loud and obnoxious and you don't know what to expect. He could have some of the other issues mentioned but I would try to understand him a little better before rushing for a diagnosis.
If you decide on seeing a professional, I would go to an occupational therapist before a psychologist or psychiatrist. An OT will be able to diagnose and help with sensory issues.

Does the child withdrawal from affection from you or his mom? Will he play by himself and have a good imagination? There are many things to trigger this onset such as the sound of his mothers voice could be very shaky to him and he gets upset if he feels that she is, a song even in a small child can trigger a fight or a bad memory, and the big doll thing is more then likely from a nightmare, put them up and don't encourage him to play with them.

The terrible twos are called that for a reason. They are starting to learn so much and with that comes some anxiety. I'd also take a look at his environment is it always loud and chaotic or is it loving and soothing? There are so many things that can affect a little one it's hard to give a good answer. Just to try to be as observant to all the things going on in his life and be there to comfort him and make him feel loved and secure.

First let me begin by saying I am not trying to diagnose this child but... I have heard and seen mild (so mild that sometimes it is never found) cases of Autism. Just from the little bit that you posted it sounds like he has an overstimulation problem. I would maybe do some research and if it continues ask his doctor what he/she thinks.
It could all be completely normal, but I thought I would throw that little tidbit in the mix.

Hahaha you know what a sixteen 12 months previous boy is like! or maybe you do no longer while you're youthful. They pass to large lengths just to verify a sprint bit nipple poking out of a bra. Lock away your diary, get him some hustler mags and get a lock on your door lol

Just adopt to his needs , and try to understand him , you can't brainwash him to be the way you want him to be......The only way you get inside his head is adaptation , and understanding. And of course Love! Even if you discipline a child with Love it's all good !
