who is a bit fine motor skill challenged. DS (now in reception) is a "bendy boy" as the paediatrician put it. This means his ligaments are a bit longer than most peoples and so his muscles have to do more work than most peoples. Consequently, he is a bit behind on being able to write his name or form any numbers.
I have had a fairly laid back approach to this. But, he does Kumon and he is getting frustrated because he is bored with the level of math (counting dots really) and so he wants to move on. But, to move on he needs to be able to write the numbers. So, he can easily count the 8 dots, but he can't write "8". So, I am thinking that some practise sheets on writing will get his physical coordination up to a lever where his mind can be challenged (or at least not bored).
Also, his teacher commented on the motor skills in the consultation. I told her about the "bendy boy" and said I wasn't too worried because there was a physical explanation for the lack of coordination and expected it to come along in time. But, now that it is holding back his other development, I'd like to see what I might do to help him along on the writing.
So, does anyone know wher eI might find some tracing sort of practise sheets for him?
