My son has always had a 'funny' walk, when he was little he would trot rather than walk, hands usually in the air etc...at that age it was cute.
Now he's 8 and he doesn't do it as bad but he still walks differently to all the other boys, trots a little, sticks his belly right out, exagurated upper body movements, raised hands...now that they're getting older the others are noticing these things and he's started to get the odd "camp", "gay", "girly walk" comments. I'm worried that as he gets older it will become a more prominant reason to be bullied.
It seems to be worse when he's tired, he can walk normally but usually when we're walking at a slower pace. He can't run well at all (think "jack sparrow"), can play any sports (the boys won't allow him to play football as he usually trips on the ball!) and although he learnt to ride 2 wheeled bike 2 years ago he is still wobbly compared to his friends.
I have suspected dyspraxia before with him but my main concern is his walk, is there anything they can do to correct it?
