I have two children who are not diagnosed as Dyspraxic but are definitely on the fringes, they both have co-ordination issues that manifest themselves in different ways.
My 12 yr old is fearful of speed and falling and must be in absolute control at all times - she can ride a bike but does it so slowly it's a miracle she stays upright.
The 9 yr old is much more gung Ho but even less in control of his limbs, regularly falls over absolutely nothing and is all arms and legs, he will however throw himself into anything cheerfully.
Am I mad to take them skiing, any advice or tips to help us learn?
I'm planning on working on their core strength and am trying to find ski lessons currently but can it be done? I'd really love them to love skiing as I do but am a little fearful it'll be an expensive mistake
