My 12 year old son has started getting "stuck" in various places. It started in the corridor to his classroom at school. Then it was the road we needed to cross to get on the school bus. Now he won't walk more than a few steps from the front door. It is almost half term so I have no idea whether he is just very tired and overwhelmed at the moment or he is pushing the boundaries with me deliberately. Because of this, I don't know how to deal with it. Should I let to go until after term and hope that with some downtime he will reset or should I start bringing in some behaviour consequences.
Unfortunately, he is not verbally able to explain why he feels this way. Has anyone experienced similar and can better explain how he feels for me? Or have any parents and carers had a similar thing going on and how did it resolve itself?
