5 year boy...many problems

My son (youngest of 4) has develomental delay,soiling,speech probs,is short and heavy with large head,no sence of danger,over friendly and has recently started to become violent towards others.He was held behind in nursery for 6 months and is due for a SEN reveiw next week to decide if to hold him back in reception,he is due to start year 1 but the school say they dont think they can cope.He has not been diagnosed as to why he's like this.There is only a 10 and a half month age gap between him and his brother whom I was 2 weeks over due with and I worry that it could be due to my falling pregnant so quick again that my body didnt provide all he needed and may be the cause.Any advise or suggestions would be welcome

I would highly suggest that you have your son looked by a pediatric neurologist. You will have to get referred to one by your family physician or your children' s pediatrician. The pediatrician may be the best route to take to get results. Good Luck
