Unsure How to Help with Big Emotions?
My son is 5 years old and I am 99% sure that he has ADHD like his momma. I’d love to get him evaluated, but most psychiatrists have on their websites that they start evaluations at age 6. We are having problems with big emotions.
We had his 2nd preschool parent/teacher conference and his teachers let us know that he gets very emotional over little things and starts to cry. They say they’re working on it, but Idk how they work on it lol?
We signed him up for a parkour class thinking he’d love it, but he is running to us crying every five minutes. Whether someone slightly bumped him or the other kids are “too loud” (even though he’s being louder than them.) It’s immediate crying and him wanting to go home.
I don’t know what to do. I want him to have fun. He does have fun with the actual parkour, but as soon as someone slightly bumps him it’s a big deal. He’s missing so much class with the amount of times he comes crying to us.
What has worked for you to help combat the big feelings and, sort of, sensitiveness with your kids?
