First of all, I'll come clean- I had such an awful time at school that we very very nearly HE'd, but after a lot of soul searching and weighing up of options, have decided on school. A lot of my problems were down to undiagnosed difficulties (Dyspraxia mainly, some dyslexia, and it has been mentioned that it sounds like I had some kind of sensory problem that I seem to have mainly grown out of now unless stressed, plus I have some kind of bipolar issue that has caused psychosis in the past- basically my brain is a bit odd! I'm pretty much fine now, but school was hell.) Anyway, because of all this, I am aware that I will be a bit more paranoid than most about my children.
HOWEVER, DD1 is now 3.5yo and is still in nappies, falls over loads (around 10 times a day), spills things, took ages to reach motor control milestones and so on. It could be just normal toddler behaviour, but she is not really a toddler any more...
I don't want to make a fuss, but I also don't want her to suffer if she could be helped.
Anyway, at what point would you be concerned? And if you were, what would you do?
