then have you seen an improvement after working on them with him/her? If so, how long did it take, and what worked best for your DC?
I ask because DS1's teacher told us today at Parents' Evening that he is finding holding a pencil difficult (which we already knew) and that in PE he is not co-ordinated and struggles with his balance (which we also knew). Up until this evening we'd hoped it was just one of those things that he would get the hang of, but his teacher said that he will need to attend an after-school club to help with his gross motor skills, and we need to work on his fine motor skills at home.
I found an incredibly useful list of things to do with DS1 on another, much older thread, posted by mrz (thank you, should you happen to be reading this!), but I'm just feeling a bit anxious now about what to do for the best. His teacher said that with effort on our and her part he should be much improved by the end of Reception, assuming this is a developmental problem rather than a case of dyspraxia, but I don't know if we should see our GP and get him referred (but to whom?). And what if he's not OK by July?
Any experience of dealing with this problem, whether good or bad, would be much appreciated.
