2 yr old - is this a symptom?

[Guest guest]

HI ,

I have 5 kids.

21,

Cody 19,

Caterina 17,

Caleb 16

Tristan is 12

Caleb and Tristan both when they were young HATED getting up in the

morning. By young I mean 1-6 or 7 years old. They eventually have

grown out of it. They were both " bed wetters " as well...they are VERY

heavy sleepers.

I think we're all different.

ALSO what happens BEFORE bed? what is his diet like? does he have

food allergies? ever been tested for food allergies?

Use YOUR intuition...what do you think? what do you feel? he

sounds " normal " to me...but you're his mom, you live with

him...sometimes in life there aren't tests to diagnose

something...what is your gut feeling about his waking patterns?

Is he a happy child otherwise? are there emotional issues going on in

the house? there are so many other things to look at besides Hashi's

or a thyroid issue.

And in response to your friends comment about all kids JUMPING out of

bed every morning?? I do not know this to be true among my friends.

They all have one or two of their kids that HATE getting up in the

morning. ;-) Just to share.

Be well,

~Amy~
