Hi! Am braving AIBU for this because I really and honestly can't make up my mind if I'm being ridiculously pfb about this or not.
My ds is almost five, the following things are worrying me:
No established hand preference, uses both equally.
Very poor writing/drawing/colouring skills and very reluctant to do any.
Fist pen grip.
Can't do buttons
Still wets himself and nowhere near ready to night train.
Can't sit still, constantly fidgeting and messing with things (stands out amongst peers)
However he
Swims well
Is doing well with school work (that doesn't involve writing)
Can pedal a bike
Very good at climbing/ balancing type playground activities.
Can cross the midline with no hesitation.
Talks very well for his age.
Good behaviour and eager to please.
Very confident generally.
Runs, jumps, hops etc in an age appropriate way.
He was born very prematurely and I'm worried about dyspraxia. I have a doctor's appointment soon to ask to be referred but have had several moments when I think I'm being ridiculous and should cancel.
Help?
