Just a phase?

in December 2010 Moms

Aiden's new thing is he apparently HATES to go anywhere.  If we are in the car, and we are about to get out (to go to the store, mall, science museum, etc) he starts whining "no, car, no!"  which I am guessing basically means he doesn't want to go and wants to stay in the car. 

He did this yesterday when we went to the science museum, and ended up being fine after a few minutes.  Today again when we went to visit my mom, and then fine after about five minutes.  My mom tried taking Aiden to the play area at the mall last week, which is normally his favorite thing, and he reacted the same way and my mom said he was actually in tears.

I'm not sure what to think.  Just a phase? Something more in that I should call the pedi?  

I am continuing taking him out to reassure him, and hope it works.  I was telling my mom I thought it could be stemmed from DH working a ton, and Aiden has had some major SA anxiety with it constantly asking for Daddy.  But my mom said she didn't think so and made me worried something was wrong with my son, so just wanted to see what you ladies think.  Thanks :)

 

Oh - and wanted to mention also that my son has been doing so well socially lately, that this surprises me!  When he finally calmed down at the science museum yesterday (which wasn't more than a bit of whining and asking to "go car") he was very interested in the kids, tried being a part of some activities, etc.  Shared well, offered toys to kids..all of that.  I was so happy and proud of him.

    I'm going to guess just a phase because we've had a few really odd ones here.  For three weeks, my kid wouldn't even put his TOE in the bathtub. Screamed and cried and failed about like the walls were on fire.  Then one day last week, hopped right on in like it was no big deal!  Loves baths again!   He refused to use a spoon by himself for a week straight a little while ago...  I swear they just pick random things to be weird about.  I wouldn't worry until it goes on for over a month or so if it were me.

    Does he have problems with other transitions? It may be a transition thing and a few minutes before you pull in you should try explaining to him where you are going what you will see and what you will do. Hopefully it passes soon!

    No, nothing else seems to affect him like that.

    It sound like a phase too me too especially if he's still doing well socially. Does he maybe think he's being dropped off somewhere and it's triggering the SA?

    I think a lot of it might have to do with DH working so much.  He seems to miss him, which is understandable!  I just feel bad for him.

    I think it's just a "toddlers trying to control anything they can" phase... lol

    Mine has been doing the same thing, even when we're going someplace he likes to go to. He's usually fine once we get there. I just thought it had something to do with him always saying no to everything I offer...I could offer him a cookie for breakfast and he'd automatically say "No cookie!" before he realized what I said. :P
