My 12 month old will not sit still in a group music class. That is, he wills quirm out of my lap, won't lie down for massage time, crawls away to look out the window and gets tired toward the end of the 50 minute session. Is this all perfectly normal or should I be concerned? None of the other toddlers behave in this antisocial way. |

I wouldn't look at it as "antisocial". He's 12 mths. Its really too early to define him as "antisocial". First is this the first group class he has been in? Some children need time to adjust to newer setting. I have three kids.. 7,5,3 none of them ever acted the same for any given situation. My oldest could be sat anywhere and never move. My middle moved all them time and my youngest- you don't know what he'll do till he does it. I found that if I wanted my middle to "learn" a routine we would have outside of the home I needed to practice it with him. Have you tried doing simular activies in your home one on one with him in shorter time frames and them working up to a 50 minute session? Or if the music setting doesnt work try finding another activity. As my middle couldnt stay still I found it best to envolve him in more "physical" activites- playdates at the park, special outtings with other kids, something that would give him more physical activity and teach him to socialize instead of expecting him to sit for long periods of time. Each child will be different and sometimes you need to find something that works well for them instead of tryin to find a way to force them into the activity that you choose. Personally I wouldnt be alarmed. And I wouldnt use the "antisocial" word for a small child. |
