DS1 yr7/11yrs, has been at same school since reception. We have been concerned that he is mildly dyspraxic as his writing is dreadful and he is terrible at sports-just CANT run normally, runs like Noddy, cant do shoelaces etc. Have mentioned this to school lots, dont want anything special, just some understanding that he will always be last by several miles in X country, and CANT do a pushup-not that he isnt trying just CANT do it!
Last night, at a Xmas meal for parents of his year (we pay collectively for teachers to go too), the head of sport, who is also now his form teacher, came up to us after several bottles of wine, and said "Is there something wrong physically with your son, he doesnt run like a normal person"
I have no problem with him saying this (its true) just cant believe that its taken 7 yrs for him to notice this and get round to saying something about it, and be suprised about it. AAAARGH!
