My group skewed very young this year.
My youngest is turning 4 tomorrow. He had a few issues with speech, processing, emotional regulation etc in addition to being pretty immature. Most of his issues are easily managed.
He still displays a lot of dumping, guarding, and parallel play behaviors. He guards toys not just from someone trying to take it, but of anyone gets even near him. He does this deep growly "staaahhhhppp". It literally looks like a dog guarding food. The thing is, the other kids will have their backs to him, not remotely interested in his stuff. But if they scoot top close to his stack of Lego's that he builds everyday, he loses it.
And of course if someone else gets to the Lego's first or doesn't let him get the pieces he wants, he also loses it.
Help?
