Dd2 is six and a half. She has a number of behaviours that for want of another word worry me. I have also been able to observe her in a couple of camp situations recently that have highlighted further things.
She is very immature for her age which in conjunction with being tall make her stand out iykwim.
She has to touch, rub, put near/in her mouth lots of things. She fidgets constantly eg at a 10min sit down recently she spent the entire show pulling at a thread on the mat, proceeded to touch it off her face and eventually put it in her mouth. Following day, similar situation, did the same with a piece of card. She seemed oblivious to the show but was able to recount it all later.
She is apparently easily distracted in class but also will follow an instruction to refocus. Teacher gave us some work to do over their summer on letters but otherwise has no problems with reading etc. However in sports, camps etc instructors don't seem to be able to engage her and she gets left at the side.
She easily goes into meltdown, not temper just complete sobbing that goes as quickly as it comes, can't accept 'no' but gets over it quickly.
She is friendly with everyone but has no best friend, joins and leaves games with no fuss, just wanders off on her own, seems happy. Is a very loving child, great hugs :)
She much prefers to be naked, will often take off layers and come home in just dress ( no uniform). Has no sense of modesty yet.
Dd1 (9) is extremely accomplished both accademcally and in sport, very independent etc and I try very hard not to compare and I don't know if Dd2 is just immature for her age or should I ask for an assessment.
Tia, feel free we to ask questions as all help/views appreciated
