4 yr old who can't draw? Is this unusual?

[florenceuk]

DS is 4 and can't draw at all. Not even a smiley face - he can do a circle with a few dots in it but that's all. Mostly he does scrawls. Today we met a boy in the Tate who was five and was drawing a crocodile in a pond with a snake! And his friends all seem to be able to draw something. Ds can't write either - wondering if it is all related in terms of recognition of shapes etc. Any views?

DS was 4.5 when he started school. Up until then I couldn't get him to hold a pen, pencil or crayon never mind draw.

He started school and I think the peer pressure got him and he started writing. He's never been that interests in drawing though if I'm honest

Forgot to say, it's probably worth getting his eyes tested too once lockdown has eased a little. I think that was one of the things that had stopped DS being that interested.

Hi yeahi took him to audio and vision tests. The results were ok. He didn't have any issues with his eyes and hearing now waiting for the specialist to screen him. As a mother I am so puzzled by my son's situations
