[quote=Anonymous]Curious if anyone else has experience with it and if they outgrew it eventually or were diagnosed with anything

My just turned 3 year old can throw, catch, kick, and shoot baskets far better than most 3yos - he’s my 3rd boy, I have a realistic barometer for this and my other 2 aren’t this way.  He can also climb and run well

Yes he bumps his head on the edge of our kitchen island, slips on the stairs, falls out of his climbing up it, runs straight into walls bc he’s looking behind him, trips over things on the floor etc etc several times a day.  He’s constantly covered in bruises and has goose eggs on his head regularly.  He doesn’t seem to learn how to pay more attention (look ahead while running), protect his body (don’t do weird jump steps on the stairs!), or even seem to learn to watch out for the same thing he bumps into regularly.  Each time he’s hurt he melts down so he definitely doesn’t have a bizarrely high pain tolerance or anything

It drives me crazy that he’s hurt all the time doing dumb things and doesn’t seem to be learning.  And it’s not even things I can prevent (like climbing up too high at a playground)…it’s literally running into walls in our house

I’m currently getting an ENT, OT, and PT eval for him at the suggestion of my other sons OT.  I’ve had his eyes checked and they’re find.  He could just be wild and careless and have no bigger issues.  I’m bizarrely hoping there is an issue so we can do something about it bc it gets so annoying

Just curious how this played out for others [/quote]
