His pregnancy was wanted. His mother vomited heavily during pregnancy and had itching hands and stomach, pains due to cholestasis. She had early contractions. She feared to lose her baby, as her brother’s wife had lost a baby, during pregnancy. The labour was a Caesarian section due to the cholestasis.
His mother wanted to have a girl, so she was disappointed when it was a boy. He wants to be close to father and mother, to be touched and press himself to the abdomen of his mother. He adores his father, is happy to see his father come home. He can be bossy to his parents, commanding them with single words. His mother's parents got divorced.
The grandfather of his mother had a traumatic experience as a child in WW2. German soldiers came into the village in search for men. He had to be silent about the place where his father was hiding even they hit him in the face. He feared to be killed. Later in the day he and his mother heard a shot and his mother asked to go and see what was going on. On the edge of the forest German soldiers were forcing a man to dig a grave for another man they had shot, but was not killed. They wanted to bury him alive. He fled away, but later felt guilty that he never got back to see if he could rescue the men. He always remained a strong fear of Germans. This great-grandfather had a very special connection with his great-grandson.
He likes contact and cuddling with his parents and especially his mother. He cuddles his brother when he cries. He likes to press himself against the stomach of his mother. He wants to be pressed. He presses his chin into others. He is excited when he sees children, jumping like a frog. He takes the hand of girls, or strokes their hand but does not speak to them. He wants to be tickled in his neck and tummy. But he has not much contact with other children. He has better contact with adults than children. He is disturbed when his grandmother leaves.
He is oversensitive to noise, for instance of falling books, and especially crying of other children. Then he covers his ears with his hands.
He is easily nervous and agitated, running around when he is allergic or hungry. He cannot cope with stress, for instance when there is lack of order. His feet are very sensitive. He does not want his hair cut, or his toenails cut.
In general he is not aggressive, but screams when his parents don't give him what he wants. In general he is more phlegmatic.
He needs help from his parents to get dressed. He tends to pull up sleeves and trousers.
He makes gestures as if grabbing imaginary things.
