Hi all , I'm concerned about my DGS , started yr 1 last Sept at 5yrs 1month. It is getting more and more difficult to get him to listen and pay attention at school , at home also - especially if he is engrossed in something , like role play , drawing , writing - all his favourite things .
He is performing at school just at the expected level in most subjects, below the expected level in Maths , really struggles with even adding 1 and 2 to numbers , better if he sees sums visually , say 4 coins add 2 coins , but at school has to know the answers very quickly , which he finds difficult .
He goes to football training for 90 minutes at the weekend , which he enjoys , for Year R and Yr 1 , he is often lost in his own world- twirling around , poking the mud and rarely watching the ball - vaguely following the other boys and the ball or listening to commands . He seems happy though!
Has anyone experienced this ? Or has any comments ? His hearing seems ok , but maybe should get this tested . Can this sort of bevaviour be normal in a 5 year old ? Really getting worried about him now .....
