I am not sure if this is the best place to post this, this is my 1st ever post lol
My eldest daughter is 5 years old, ive become increasingly worried about her over the last year or so. She's a bright little thing and very sweet, but there are a few things that I am unable to stop thinking about.
She has a problem with concentrating and listening. Her teachers have picked up on this, she has a tendancy to " switch off " in school. She is very clumsy and awkward. She is constantly falling over, dropping things, bumping into other children etc. She cannot sit still, she will walk around the room about 20 times whilst watching tv or playing. I have to tell her to sit down quite often. She walks on her tip toes and has done since she was a toddler, she has actually been referred for this and we are waiting for an appointment. If I tell her to walk flat, she can do it for 2 seconds then goes straight back on her toes.
She has twitches, for a few weeks she was shaking her head all the time, when asked why she would at 1st deny it, then say her brain hurts or its itchy. Now, she rubs her head on her shoulder's. Of course the children in her class have noticed and as a result she no longer wants to go to school. She also makes a sort of wheezing noise though she is perfectly healthy.
She is not doing very well in school, her teacher blames this on her lack of concentration as she is a very well spoken child, her use of language is amazing! but, she has not moved on this last year with reading or writing skills.
I am at a loss, she was always ahead of herself as a toddler and a pre-schooler but over the last year its as if she has gone backwards :( She hates school, has no friends and makes any excuse not to go !
We are a busy, loving family and i love my kids so much, I would hate to put a label on my daughter but there is something telling me something isnt right.
If anyone has any experience or knowledge in this area I would most gratefull to hear from you xx
