DS has always been a bit clumsy, falling over everything and nothing, but I just thought it was normal - not having anything else to compare him to.
He's very active, and likes to run and jump, and does gymnastics, successfully and is very coordinated then, but just falls over the slightest thing outside of gymnastics (and as a result is covered in bruises!). He also knocks things over ...
Now, I just thought, oh, he's a bit clumsy, but today the childminder who looks after him when I'm at work took me to one side and said that she's concerned because he falls over more than any other child she's ever known.
What should be my first port of call? Doctor? to say what? or optician? to get his eyes checked out? Or should I just put it down to it being one of those things?
He's completely normal otherwise developmentally - apart from a slight speech impediment ...
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
