Do you know that?


We all have to go with what we know.

I assume for years that my eldest
was just a late bloomer. He wasn't. He had an innate issue
that got in the way of his writing, and it didn't magically
go away with age.


Luckily DS is 6 and in kindy. We have time.

After learning some specific coping skills,
he was able to do better and eventually became much more
fluent with writing, though it's not something he enjoys
and he does much better typing. It had nothing to do with
school expectations or his age or anything like that. He'd
have struggled to write even if he'd been homeschooled, and
even if he could have waited until later to write.
That may not be the case for your son. Having
struggled for years before getting a diagnosis, however,
my advice would be to find out what you're dealing with
rather than making assumptions, as what you describe
sounds significantly more severe than what my son dealt
with.

Where did I say it was severe? His teacher did not even bring it up at the
last conference, I did. Anyway, I am sorry you had difficulty with your son.
I certainly bring these development issues up with the ped at every checkup!
Luckily I have the world's best and most knowledgable ped on MANY issues,
not just livers and gall bladders. I trust him to make the appropriate
referral or to look into things that seem off kilter.


Best wishes,
Ericka
