I careD for a 4.5yr old boy like this one time. He was the sweetest most polite little boy ever!! Parents were the ones you wanted all to be like too!! I had this fella for almost a year and then it was like someone flipped a switch. He became very violent and angry or some days the exact opposite. Very scared and reserved. I met with mom and dad to talk about this strange all of a sudden behavior. They said it was going on at home and they didn't know why. I suggested that the child see a local psychologist who deals with only kids. They took me up on that advice and low and be hold 3 months into counseling the little boy confided in the Dr. The little boy was being molested and threatened by an older boy who's parents were friends of the family!!!
This made me terribly sad, angry, hurt.... probably all the things he was feeling and didn't know how to cope. Needless to say things got taken care of and he is getting back to his old self... slowly. He still goes to counseling and loves school. He's a fighter and I think he will do great in life.
Hope it's nothing like this and GOOD LUCK FOR YOU AND THE FAMILY!!!
