[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PPs suggesting an occupational therapy assessment (ask at her school) and a second opinion from a different pediatrician.

I'm a mom and a teacher.  I'm a great believer in following your instincts.  This is your kid and you know her well.  If you think there is something then there probably is.

Are there any other things that seem a little non-typical?  How is her general sense of space and spatial orientation?  If you ask her to turn left or right, does she immediately know which direction?  If you throw her a ball without much warning will she catch it?

I wouldn't go nuts over it though since it seems like she is functioning well and she seems happy.  The happy is the most important part btw!  What you don't want is for her to feel and begin to believe that there is something "wrong" with her.  That would be devastating.

So ask at school about the OT assessment and consider an evaluation from a different pediatrician, and go from there.  If nothing pops from those two then whatever it is isn't inhibiting her enough to make a large difference in her life and let it be.  Good luck!
