I don’t think this normal behaviour and you should contact your health visitor, paediatrician or your GP with your concerns. I’d also be looking into if this behaviour is learnt. Has he seen similar behaviour from someone close to him?

@Natasha no, he hasn’t seen this. It all started when he started preschool.

Speak to his preschool keyworker and ask if there’s been any incidents involving this behaviour and tell them your concerns. Keep a diary on times he’s acted like this and definitely speak to a health visitor. Does he like preschool? Has he ever said anyone is grabbing his neck?

@Natasha he’s been bitten a few times by a SEN child. That’s all I know of. His teacher has no concerns and says he’s a model pupil. :(
