Hi my name is Christie
My 3 year old son might have "dyspraxia" Has anyone heard of this?
I will be surprised and happy if so. It is a type of motor coordination problem,
that sometimes, most often, affects the communication skills.
I have this amazingly sweet, affectionate little boy, who loves being around other
kids. He sees nothing wrong with the way he is saying words. The problem is not his
getting along with the other kids, its the other moms. I can understand why, their
kids are precious to them as well. So I am frustrated, because I worry about my son
having as much of a great childhood, and making good friends as much as the
"normal" kids.
One mom gave me her number for play dates over the summer, her son is a very
"busy, active" kid. Our kids were in the same classroom, a delayed speech
preschool classroom. The teacher said she did not think it was in my sons best
interest to play with the other kid..he gets too rough sometimes, she says..and
sometimes hits other kids on the head. I wanted to really give the kid a chance.
I call the mom up and she seems to be always busy. So here is my question I
ask myself....What is up with these to busy, over protective, moms? Or am I
doing something wrong, to discourage other moms to want to interact...thus
complicating my kids "social life" even more. This is my first group and this
a new site to me...so keep this in mind please. I would really like some kind of
feed back...constructive or criticism, either will do. :)
Thanks for all the openness I see in your posts...every mom out there is doing
a heck of a good job, keep up the good work!! |

Yes, thats almost a form of autism but not. Its actually sensory integration dysfuction. I would read up on it cause it causes major meltdowns. Go http:// www.spd.org

Thanks Laura for the site info.
You seem to have a good take on the sensory issues, do you have a
"sensory diet" for your child? I like your straight to the point answers.
In one of my friends own words..I take people around the block when I tell them a story. I need a "get to the point" diet myself, I think I startle people my long conversations...any tips on getting over this hurdle? |

Thank you Laura. :) I appreciate the offer to be able to chat it up.
I am sorry though if my questions have stumped everyone else.
I do not see anymore questions being asked on this site, maybe that is a good thing, everyone must be just fine. :)
I hope everyone is having a wonderful time in their day to day lives.

| hi christie! i understand your prob. too. my son has the speach thing and other's just don't get it. my son gets along with other kids, but sometimes head-buts others. and i get the criticism all the time from other parents who's kids are normal. hell, my inlaws are at me all the time too. they keep saying "why haven't you got him into some "special" classes or something?" we just moved to washington state 3 months ago. the local programs have a 6 month waiting list. i have got him started on speech group, but that don't start til next month. and when it comes to new people, i'v learned to just not say too much. because they seem to fall on one or two sides. side one treats you like it's your falt, and side two treats you like you just said you had 24 hours to live. i don't know about you, but i need understanding, not simpathy. |
