I find it really hard not to get angry with my four year old son for having no co ordination, problems with pen control and weak gross motor skills. I know I am being irrational
a) After 18 months of physio he can now run and walk about quite happily. His gait looks a bit unusual but it works and he is happy.
b) His pen control is truely dire and his teacher thinks he might need an iep. He has worse pen control than a little girl in his class who is statemented for having moderate learning difficulties.
c) In spite of being very clumpsy my son has loads of friends and doing nicely at his reading.
I feel frustrated that he is is a low literacy group inspite of the fact that he is good at reading. He can read almost any thing that is given to him phonetically and does not need pictures. Unfortunately he just cant hold a pen.
May I am a complete nutcase. I find it so frustrating at the moment. My son is a sweety pie, but I find hard not feel cross with him.
