That poor little boy is clearly overwhelmed, overstimulated and out of sorts. She is so off the mark that I question whether Jade is possibly neuro divergent herself. The compulsive behaviour, rituals with the earrings, various generalised anxieties etc, masking behaviour and taking on other personas etc. I really hope River has a supportive and nurturing nursery setting that are on the ball so that he gets the support he very clearly needs.
