DS used to go nursery 3 times a week for full days. For past 3 months he has dropped down to only going 1 half day a week (I've gone part time). In these 3 months his development has gone backwards. His nursery have flagged this and due to his behaviour have suggested that he gets put onto a special pathway to check his development. They have also suggested that we get his eye sight checked as they believe he struggles to see.
Today we are taking him to the GP to get referred to an infant optician, so least that bit is moving now.
But regarding his development is there anything we can do to help him? He used to be able to string words together, e.g. "Cats over there" , "daddy gone" , "lets go outside" , "nappy change" . But now we are lucky if he uses 1 syllable to communicate what he wants e.g. "ver" instead of hoover" or simply "poo" for nappy change and even words like "dog" have now become just "d"
He has also become very clumsy, constantly falling over or misjudging where his beaker or toy is for example.
Do I need to be concerned? Is there anything I can help him? Is he going backwards because he isnt finding time with me stimulating enough compared to when he is at nursery? Feel like I am failing him going part time to spend more time with him now
