My son is 8 and is very confident and sociable with other adults and children. But with me and my family, he is different. Like when i sent him to school he will keep turning back and talk and talk even if we are so far away. When we speak to him, he will still mumble to himself after that. Recently he started to blink his eyes. I had Compulsive disorder when I was pregnant with him, now i sill have that occassionally. Could his behaviour be because of me ? Where can I seek help?

I would have him checked out but don't ever think that you have caused this problem within him. Some disorders may be caused by genetics but there are some problems that can be related to environmental factors or even allergies. Take him to your family doctor and explain what is happening and perhaps they can give you some insight into what may be causing it. He may also just be going through some kind of normal kid thing as well that he will get over. Sometimes as parents we worry about things that never even happen.

I would think that he's probably going through some form of separation anxiety. It is quite common in children under 10, and can be taken care of. I would suggest taking him to a child psychologist, who will speak with your son and find out just exactly why he is so nervous about having to be away from you (his parents) for any length of time. If your son has a school counselor, contact him/her and speak to them about your concerns. As a school counselor they have probably dealt with this kind of thing before and will know how to speak to and counsel your son on this behaviour. I wouldn't be too concerned, this behaviour is fairly normal, but I would suggest trying to get it resolved soon so that he will not have any problems like this when he is older.

He sounds like an eight year old - but if you are world about it bring him to a child psychologist to talk to him or the guidance counselor at his school. The worst thing you want to do - however, is let his peers know that you think your child is abnormal. The second worst thing is that you personally diagnose him with have some sort of disorder. You are never trained in that or objective enough to make such a diagnoses so stop saying you child might have some sort of "complusive disorder - that sounds like you problem.
Good Luck!!!

I suggest making an appointment with a child psychologist. If he's developing some sort of mental health disorder, early diagnosis and treatment can be the key to a normal and healthy adult life. Even if it turns out he's totally OK and is just being silly (kids do that), your own peace of mind would be worth it as well.

a great number of what you describe is common habit of an assertive 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous boy. some would would desire to do with jealousy of his little sister. So in the beginning, do no longer trouble too plenty. via the time he's 10 he won't act that thank you to any extent further. in the intervening time, i think of you do precisely the suited factor - permit him understand which you disapprove. At his age, you could initiate emphasizing empathy - "how could you experience if somebody did this to you?" "seem, now the different baby is crying." it would desire to take time, in spite of the undeniable fact that it is going to sink in at last. i in my opinion do no longer plenty have faith in time-outs, and could evaluate spanking him if he keeps to break his little sister after a sparkling warning; yet it extremely is an argument of private determination, and you're able to no longer do something you do no longer experience gentle with. Cheer up - your boy is high quality yet slightly pushy, it form of feels. according to probability that helps him later to strengthen in existence.

Never blame yourself for what your children get like a disorder. You may want to speak with the school counselor to see what they say. If your gut tells you it may be more, see a professional to nip it in the bud.
One suggestion; don't go with someone who will put him on meds. I suggest finding someone who will work with you regarding diet, behavior modification, etc.

Sounds like your son needs to be checked out. Could be influenced by what he's seen or read or observed lately.
It's best to tackle this with asking the right questions.
GOod luck

You should see a professional about this. This is not an appropriate place to get serious advice for such serious matters.

Your son is really a wolf and the other adults and children are members of his real pack. He won't follow you unless the leader of his pack accepts you as one of his own.
